Shadow Divers: The True Adventure of Two Americans Who Risked Everything to Solve One of the Last Mysteries of World War II Audiobook

" Fascinating account of the discovery of a sunken U-boat about 70 miles off the New Jersey coast. Detailed descriptions of what deepsea wreck diving is like (those guys are CRAZEEE!) From the bends to narcosis to running out of air the danger is amazing. These guys were driven to discover the identity of the U-Boat that had no record of being where it was. Very interesting book. "

" I loved this book, too! I dive, so I found the whole science of diving to be fascinating. The characters were crisp and the story was awesome. "

" Well-written, exciting -- I never looked ahead & loved every minute. This one's for you, Gary. "

" History in this one about the German U-boats and the surprise and once in a life time find of a group of dedicated divers. Based on a true story. "

" Very exciting especially if you enjoy "soft" fiction writing. I fist read his "Crashing Through" and was not disappointed by this second read. "

" The true story of two men who discovered a German U-Boat and made it their life's work to identify its source. It was well interested and opened a whole new world of wreck diving with an interesting array of characters. The fact that it is true is awe inspiring. I like the way it treated the German side story with respect. "

" Fantastic! Totally got me hooked on submarines, WWII and SCUBA. Interesting characters and facinating adventures. All history books should be this entertaining. "

" I usually read fiction, don't know why I picked this one up, but it was absolutely fantastic. A German submarine just off the East Coast that no one knew was there. A real roller coaster ride. Really really great read. "

" Really interesting and educational (if you're at all interested in diving). The story is very exciting and well-written even though it's fictional. "

" It was very informative about the hazards of deep sea diving. "

" I feel bad. I wanted to give this book more stars. I even had Bob read it on vacation. The consensus was it was interesting, in fact, very interesting but not engaging. "

" Did not expect to like this book - it was great! "

" What a great book. Sad and frustrating but one you cannot put down. "

" I enjoyed this a lot- if you like Jon Krakauer you'd probably enjoy this. Filled with danger, adventure, bromance, history- a good story well told. The audio adaptation I listened to was very good. "

" I don't dive and I wont say it made me want to try. However, it was cool. "

" Very interesting and a good and fast read "

" lots of interesting facts about diving, wreck diving, and the UBoats of ww2 "

" I throughly enjoyed listening to the true adventures of two wreck divers who found a Uboat outside of New Jersey. The narrative moves the story in a fictional kind of excitement. It was an exciting learning experience. I definitely recommend it. "

" questionable choice in some vocabulary aside (i mean, the guys are practically sailors), this book is super entertaining. non-fiction that reads like fiction, but is non-fiction. if you care at all about diving, the world wars, mysters/thrillers, or just for a good time, check out this book. "

" Only a couple of chapters in but this is a captivating story so far. "

" Shocked that I liked a book about diving for sunken shipwrecks, but this was absolutely fascinating. "

" Fantastic! Totally got me hooked on submarines, WWII and SCUBA. Interesting characters and facinating adventures. All history books should be this entertaining. "

" This book was awesome! I learned a lot about scuba diving and about WWII U-boats. I don't typically read a lot of non-fiction, but I couldn't put this one down! "

" Great story, a real page turner. But the stars of the book are self-obsessed, and it gets a bit old "

" One of my all time favorites. "
