Su questo libro

Recensione:

'An amazing survival story' Reader's Digest
'All those viscious surfing metaphors - "rip", "carve", "shred" - are made shockingly literal. It's a fairytale, a myth that happens to be true, of being swallowed by the monster and making an amazing escape. It's little short of a resurrection story, rising from a watery grave. And it is a good news story, of overcoming immense pain and suffering, of the inspirational kind' INDEPENDENT
'A rare exception to the rule that says never read an autobiography of someone under 25 . . . Remarkable' GQ magazine
'A modern-day story of tragedy and triumph, featuring a pretty heroine, a magical setting and enough grit to shock, enthral and inspire audiences the world over' DAILY TELEGRAPH

L'autore:
