I began reading this book knowing the story relayed in it's pages was true, but I had never heard of this incident and these men before. I can't call them characters, certainly, because this was their lives; their real struggles and triumphs. I've always seeked out biographies and memoirs because although fiction and fantasy hold a special place in my heart, I've always found true stories to be more impactful. I must say, I gave Trapped Under The Sea five stars because although I just read this story nearly 16 years after it occurred and I cannot relate much to the lifestyle they lived and the jobs they did, I felt thoroughly engaged in this recounting, and a profound sadness for what everyone involved went through. Excellent writing kept the complex amount of details needed to understand the situation from being overly technical. This book was captivating from cover to cover.
I received this book for free from Blogging For Books in exchange for my honest review.
