alive by: Piers Paul Read This is a true survival story about the story and a rugby team that's

plane crashed in the Andes on the way to a tournament. They crashed and were stranded for 72 day's and survived by sleeping in the plane with nothing but a few plane blankets and some chair cushions for sleeping on and using the plane's roof to try and cook the meat that they cut of the body's of their dead former team mates and other passenger's.
I really liked this book because it was amazing to think that this was a true story and there was actually a group of people who survived in some of the world's hardest conditions and did things like eat pretty much only the body's of other people.
I recommend this book to anyone who want's a pretty easy to follow read but still some intense excitement and constant suspense or if you like those t.v. show's like survivor man or man v.s. wild. It was a great story told to the writer by the 16 survivors of the 45 passenger's them selves and was one of the best book's I've every read.
