My favorite book that I had enjoyed reading would be The Voyage of the Frog, by Gary Paulson, which I had also recently read as a book club book from previous blog posts.
Genre: Fiction... an Adventure/Survival story
The main character, David Alspeth, goes to visit his ill Uncle in the beginning and his Uncle told him that when he passed away, he wanted David to go out to sea on the Frog and dump his ashes into the water where he could see no land and would be alone. David said he would, and would do anything for his Uncle. Afterwards, once his Uncle died, he sailed out to sea on the Frog and then when he got so far out that he could see no more land, he took his Uncle's ashes and dumped them into the water. Then a couple hours later before he could head back home, he was hit by a huge storm and swept farther out to sea. After the storm, David had lost most of his food supply and was running low on fresh water, and even worse, the Frog wouldn't work. He is lost and has to find a way to survive and get back home safely.
What I really liked about this book was how there was suspense when something would happen to David, and what he would do next. I love survival and adventure stories like this because they bring more action and feelings to the plot, in my opinion. I would say that people who definitely like to read survival and adventurous stories would enjoy to read this book and find it interesting. I enjoyed reading The Voyage of the Frog myself. I would Recommend this book and I think that you would really like this book, once again if you are a survival story/adventurous type of reader.
