Alone: Orphaned on the Ocean Audiobook

" Ditto to the other reviews. Great story, writing and editing needed some work. "

" Non fiction--chilling detailed story of the tragedy that occurred during the Dupperrault's family vacation on a yacht in the Caribbean. Told by the lone survivor--their 11 year old daughter. "

" This story is really interesting and was worth reading about. The first half was pretty good. The last half could use some help. Just not written terrifically, but I did like it. "

" Inspiring and amazing what this girl went through and overcame. Made me almost cry at the end, which few books compel me to do. "

" I did not remember this event that happened in 1961, the year I graduated from high school. True story of a chartered yacht that sunk in the Carribean, killing an entire family and the wife of the captain. Who as it turned out murdered everyone and sank the boat. Except one lone survivor - the 11-year old daughter. The writing was not very good - was more like a newspaper article. But my heart went out to all the victims. Reminded me of watching 20-20 or 48 Hours Mystery -- could have been told in 15 minutes or 15 pages. "

" The story of Tere (Terry Jo) Duperrault is fascinating and compelling, but the quality of writing is so terrible that it's distracting. I enjoyed the book, because the tragic and miraculous survival story of Tere is so engaging in its own right. However, the writing... oh the writing. So bad. "

" Interesting, quick read. Probably won't read it again. "

" Book 91/150 "

" interesting true story...sad but uplifting "

" An interesting, true story, written in a factual style. The author pulled together information from many sources to put the whole sordid tale in one place. I wold have enjoyed reading more from Tere herself. "

" A quick read, and interesting enough. "

" A strange story, not very well written, based on speculation and the testimony of an 11-year-old survivor who nearly died adrift at sea for 4 days. And, the information revealed by giving her truth serum as an adult is certainly not reliable. Probably true, but we will never really know. "

" Interesting and informative. True story about a child (now a grown woman) left to die at sea. "

" I read this book in a little over 24 hours. It captured me right off the bat knowing it was a family from the Green Bay area who had to deal with this tragedy! Definately a must read! "

" Interesting true story. I wondered if with todays technology they could have answered some of the "unanswered questions"? An easy and short read. "

" A very interesting true story about a girl who survives drifting in the ocean for 4 days after her entire family is killed. I will not tell you how they die so I don't spoil it. Great story of survival, strong will and evil. It is a short book and a very quick read. I enjoyed it very much. "

" true story and fascinating! I had never heard the story before-a survival story- a little girl who is found floating in the ocean- "

" Not the most well-written book I've read, but such a captivating, tragic story. I would recommend just because of that! "

" One of the most heart-breaking true stories I have ever read. The story of "brave little Terry Jo" and her family is unbelievably tragic. "

" I was expecting it to be more of a personal memoir (instead it read more like a third person, bullet-pointed "report" or investigative journalism), but it was still an incredible story! "

" This was a very sad but interesting book. It's a true story although I had never heard of this girl. "

" Great book but hard to read about such a tragedy to this family including the children. "

" Non-fiction story that was captivating and a bit sad. "

" I would give it 3 & 1/2 stars...interesting real account. "

" Very interesting true story but a badly written book. "

" Great story....it is sad what this little girl had to go through but she has turned out to be a positive women. "

" This is so creepy because it's bloody and true. "

" A quick read, and interesting enough. "

" A very interesting story not well told. "

" This was a very sad but interesting book. It's a true story although I had never heard of this girl. "

" Non fiction--chilling detailed story of the tragedy that occurred during the Dupperrault's family vacation on a yacht in the Caribbean. Told by the lone survivor--their 11 year old daughter. "
