Mishka Shubaly, Shipwrecked

Shipwrecked is a very well-written adventure story about a yacht trip that ended badly in 2001. Actually, stepping back from it, the adventure wasn't all that exciting (well, I'm sure it was for the participants, but it's not necessarily exciting enough to warrant a book). But Shubaly's writing makes it worth the read. My only problem was that the whole arc of the story was undone in the very last section of the book—Shubaly, having gone through this ordeal, learned nothing from it, and immediately fell back into his previous, self-destructive ways. I get that that's the truth, but maybe omitting those few sentences from the Single would have made it a stronger piece.
