Book Review: “Survivor’s Club”
The Survivors Club: The Secrets and Science that Could Save Your Life by Ben Sherwood
My review
rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was an enjoyable book for two reasons. 1. The author interviews survivors of all types of situations, from the extreme (cougar taking a woman’s face off, ejecting from a place at mach speed, etc), to the more common (surviving cancer, etc.) 2. He uses these interviews to name the qualities survivors posses.
It wasn’t the greatest book I’ve ever read, but I would still recommend it, since its premise is so different. Its not a “survivor book” in that it only rarely gives tips on survival techniques (though I did learn not to take off my shoes while on an airplane- that will make it extremely difficult to get out if a fire breaks out). Instead it explores personalities, which can be a very interesting topic.
