Description To Books Not Without Hope
While I definitely feel for the families involved in this tragedy - I did not like this book at all. The book was poorly written and the author (Nick Schuyler) came across as somewhat concieted and shallow. For example: he's just lost 3 friends and looks down at his ab muscles after he's been rescued and thinks to himself - "damn, pretty good" and goes on to say how "shredded" he looked! Ugh - he completely turned me off. I understand that he is young and fitness obsessed but there's a point where it becomes ridiculous. While I do appreciate that it took determination to survive - it did seem to me that he bragged about himself throughout the book and at times it came across that he let his friends do a majority of the work . This may or may not be true - however, it did come across that way in the book. I'm glad that I did not buy this book - won it in the giveaways. I don't recommend it.Rating Of Books Not Without Hope

good, fast read. Interesting account from the lone survivor of this tragedy.Prompt # 3: I think this book has contributed to my personal enlightenment. I am only 80 some pages into this book but it has made me think about my own life. As the main character, Nick, Schuyler, floats aimlessly, each second bringing him closer to his death, he talks about his life. He muses about the events that he wouldve changed, regretted, and things he would like to have done. He also talks about the bond between his family and the support he received for each of them. This made me start

This book utterly broke my heart. No matter how hard I tried I could not help feeling the hurt of Nick Schuyler, but more-so I related to his mother. I literally sobbed with her for her fear and her relief. Make no mistake I cried for him too. This book describes the tragedy of the loss of 3 very young men and the one survivor that lived to tell the story. Nick and his friends fought for their survival and though by his own admission he feels a great deal of survivor's remorse I must say I find
3.5 stars. The recounting of the boating tragedy off the coast of Clearwater, FL, in the Gulf of Mexico, chronicles the true story of Nick Schuyler (personal trainer) and three football players (Marquis Cooper and Corey Smith of the NFL and Will Bleakley of the University of South Florida). The series of events recounted in this book occurred in March of 2009 and Schuyler's work was published in 2010. There were times when the author became rather redundant and stretched the account with
The book Not Without Hope by Nick Schuyler is a very inspiring story about staying strong and never giving up. In the book, Nick and his friends are strandered out in the middle of the ocean with nothing but the clothes on their body. In the end only Nick survives, and its hard to believe that he was even able to survive. While out on a fun day of deep water fishing, the anchor of their boat got stuck, which caused their boat to flip over. Unable to turn the boat back over, the four friends
I enjoyed this book. I am sure it was very hard for the author to write and his life will never be the same. He is very lucky to be alive. I actually learned a lot about what happens when you are in the water for a prolonged period of time. A sad story.
