Not Without Hope was a great book that told a haunting true story of the struggle of 4 men on the Gulf and the survival of one of them. Reading the details and all that the men went through was chilling. I cannot imagine surviving even a couple of hours in those conditions. The fact that they were repeatedly thrown off the boat and had to climb back on is mind blowing. Thinking that Nick had to see 3 of his best friends go through the horrific symptoms of hypothermia right in front of him is so sad. I think I would have nightmares for a long time. He was right to tell his story. If he didn't someone else would have who did not know all of the details. People who think that Nick is lying really shock me. What other choice do you have but to believe him? He is the only survivor. To think that someone who survived 40+ hours in the middle of the ocean would make up a story like this is crazy! None of us know exactly what we would do in that situation. Most of us have never been in that situation. I'm sure the other 3 men were worried about hanging on for dear life more than they were about switching clothes with Nick so that they could borrow his soaking wet sweatshirt for a while. Have a heart!
I commend Nick for being strong enough to recall these horrific details from that night. He will struggle for a long time but I wish him the best!Get more detail about Not Without Hope.
