Matt K recenserade The Wager av David Grann
A horrible journey to no good end
3 stjärnor
We are shoved onto a wooden world unwilling, tasked to thieve from Spanish mine ships.
Old sick men are dragged onto ships in terror as they know they will never survive to set foot at home.
Most people die as the sea and hunger and madness devour them.
Nothing is gained along the way. Some make it back.
I was hoping for something as insanely captivating as Killers of the Flower Moon but here the story is one of deciding constantly to steer into death and … dying.
