" After reading this book I felt the original version of the film (the only one I've seen) was pretty faithful to the text. I rate both as 'worth your time' - not for the technological part, but for the study in psychology such an event (plane crash) presents. "

" Read the book hard copy several times. Excellent. Read the cassette copy with the British reader a couple of times. Very entertaining. Tried to read this copy with the American Grover Gardner reading aloud. Very disappointing. No wonder David from Birmingham, UK thought the film was better. Gardner is poorly cast to read this story. A Britisher should be reading this story. "

" Haven't seen the movie, but I really enjoyed the book. Page after page there is good suspense wondering if these men who survive a plane crash can escape the Sahara. Highly recommend this great book. "

" A fun one to listen to. The reader for the audiobook was very good, and had a unique voice for each character, which added a lot. Not overdone - just right. The story is a good one, and with some nice complexity to the characters and interactions without being over-the-top. "

" This was one of the many books my paternal grandmother had up in her Michigan cottage. At the time of its reading I thought it quite an exciting adventure--better, certainly, than its latest movie incarnation. "

" After having seen the 1965 film, the book was disappointing. One of the few instances where the film is better than the book! I've not seen the remake. "

" This is not my usual type of book. I probably would not have started it were it not for Thom’s recommendation. However, I really enjoyed it. The author has done a fantastic job of creating believable characters. I found myself rather sad for the old British soldier.
