I think that's why I loved The Terror so much because it was all based on a real expedition and real historical characters. I can't believe what these men went out and tried to accomplish.

Glad you enjoyed hearing about it.<br /><br />Dreamybee - I'm completely amazed by Shackleton, but this book does give a slightly more negative portrayal of him than the documentaries I've seen. What it criticizes is really his planning abilities, which he delegated to others and didn't really follow up on himself. Regardless, it is a fascinating story.Heather J. @ TLC Book Tourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10474181812740579350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-62716895250574816472009-05-07T07:14:00.000-04:002009-05-07T07:14:00.000-04:00I saw something on TV a couple years ago about thi...I saw something on TV a couple years ago about this expedition. The fact that they all made it back was absolutely amazing.
