STEVEN CALLAHAN adrift at sea

    Adrift at Sea is a short book that I have recently read.  It talks about a thirty year old man named Steven Callahan who is trapped at sea on his tiny life boat.  He nearly starves, dehydrates, and gets eaten alive by sharks.  Callahan stays  alive for over two months, floating on the salty ocean.  So long that barnacles start to grow on the bottom of the raft and fish start eating the barnacles.  After he is saved, he doesn't let the terrible experience stop him from sailing.

    The book also talks a little about Callahan's life.

    It is the kind of book that is very interesting but only takes you fifteen minutes to read.
