I asked people with the previous book of the day what their favorite funny part of the book was. This time I think I'll ask what your favorite and least favorite parts are instead. I'm curious if the answers will be diverse or all along the same lines.

Although not a part of the main story, I loved it when Pete realizes there is hope for keeping his son with him.

My least favorite part was the chapter where the crew of the Warhorse were attaching the line to the Seattle Express to tow it only because I can barely understand what written because of all the technical terms.

My favorite part was learning about life on container ships and about salvaging. I have always loved watching container ships when we are in a port city. I’m not sure why they fascinate me so much. Within the story I really enjoyed Steve’s character and his constant concern for his crew. My least favorite part was the nautical terminology. I wish the author had taken the time to place foot notes at the bottom, or a list of terms at the beginning, to define these words. One particular phrase that confused me completely was, “we’ll go into the foc’sle, find some come alongs, use them to get the loop of the cable over the bits” I found it hilarious when the next line said, Travis had no idea what this meant. I said, “I’m right there with you Travis.”

My favorite part of the book was the fact that William was found alive. It showed all the survivors who escaped the fire survived. There are other parts that were equally interesting too. What bored me a bit was Louise failure to trust Larry.

Favorite part was when William was found to still be alive and the most unpleasant scene was when Larry got injured and died.

I could not agree more about Louise. Why would she doubt him now, after all of their years together? Had Larry cheated on her before?
My favorite part of
Adrift was the sweat lodge scene, where Myra and Sarah were praying for the safe return of William and the rest of the crew. The way everyone came together and overcame their own physical discomfort for the benefit of others really touched me. Even the one who could not stand the heat felt no shame because he did his best. I loved that so much.

I think my favorite part of the book was seeing how all the story lines intertwine. Going through a horrific experience like this somehow ties people together and I found this true with the book.
My least favorite part was reading about when Larry’s hand and foot get severed. It just made me cringe the whole time.

My least favorite part was Larry's demise. I was hoping for him to survive after the medical attention he got. Most favorite part was when Steve decided to stay with his son, Jimmie, even if they would have to struggle financially for a little while.

I loved many parts of the book, but my favorite part was the strong female characters. Myra, Sarah, Louise, Anne, and Heather added so much to the story. They all played very important roles. They kept people alive and kept spirits up. I also really liked when they found William alive. From a practical standpoint, I think it would have made more sense if he had been dead, but on an emotional level, I'm so happy he was alive!
My least favorite part of the book was the sea voyage terminology and all the very specific boating details. As someone who doesn't know much about boating, I found myself a little bored sometimes. The description of the Warhorse attaching itself to the Express was particularly tedious until Larry's accident happened. My other least favorite part was when Heather killed the seal. I'm glad she was able to get food for everyone, but why did it have to be a pup? It made me sad.

Who else did not like the part where William got injured? I never saw the part coming because he had really sacrificed much given that he was well advanced in age. He sprained knee and Anne had to leave him behind. Fortunately, he was found alive. This was one of my favorite parts too.

I thought that I was the only one who had to refer to the dictionary several times till I had to stop doing it. It may have been a bit technical to understand but I am sure that this is one part that made the book stand out too. The author's experience at sea was quite evident from his wonderful descriptions and narrations.

the female characters played very important roles in this book for sure. The towing of the Seattle Express successfully back to the port can be attributed largely to Louise. Anne was the one who offered to go in search of help together with William. Heather, on the other hand despite her condition went to hunt for a seal and the team survived starvation that is made worse in instances of extreme cold.

I loved the part where the whole gang got together to head up and search for William. It was a very touching scene. I'd say my least favorite part was when Louise found out about the life insurance policy that magically solved all of her problems. I just found that part a little too convenient, like the author was racing to tie up loose ends.

I get the reasons as to why you did not like the part. To me, it was quite interesting since the company could go on operating and I also think that it was necessary since it could have meant that their efforts bore no fruit.
