    About this audiobook

    Not Without Hope is the true story of the headline-making tragedy that took the lives of three football players: NFL stars Marquis Cooper and Corey Smith, and Will Bleakley from the University of South Florida. Told by the sole survivor of the ill-fated fishing trip, Nick Schuyler, with New York Times bestselling author and sports journalist Jere Longford, Not Without Hope is an inspiring and unforgettable story of courage and strength, friendship and loss, and, most importantly, hope, in the vein of Touching the Void, Into Thin Air, Between a Rock and a Hard Place, and Piers Paul Read’s classic survival tale, Alive.

      Writing Political Poetry In Difficult Times: There’s A Reason Fascist Regimes Come For The Artists | Maxine Beneba Clarke

      Some authors write for escape. I wrote poetry during the pandemic to process, to meditate on the world that was, to try and make some sense of things as a writer, and hopefully to offer some peace to at least one reader, somewhere, somehow. When Covi

    • 5/5
      Heartbreaking knowing that this is true. God bless Nick and the men that lost their lives.
    • 2/5
      A riveting story, told quite poorly. Basic gist: a bunch of "happenin'" brewski-buddy guys go fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, capsize the boat, and one survives. It's a story of one bad or stupid choice after another - would have been great slapstick if it weren't so pathetically sad. How so much stupidity can be displayed in such a short time is mind-boggingly.I couldn't help but compare this story to something like "Alive" or Shackleton, where, in similar scarey situations, the men(boys)all work together and face adversity as a unit. In great contrast, here are 4 egotistical individuals who all fight for "number 1" instead of working together and, as a result, only the most self-centered guy survives, allowing the others to work for his benefit. It was like a mini "Survivor" series. And how shallow can these guys get? the only survivor is in the hospital and bemoans the fact that all his 6-pack body building workouts have gone to waste - oh so sad - it's gonna take him weeks, months I tell you, to get back that physique... facepalm.
    • 4/5
      A well-written memoir about a horrifying and tragic trip. Mr. Schuyler recounts the circumstances that led to the deaths of three of his friends. What separates this book from other survivor stories is that Mr. Schuyler comes across as himself. He does not try to hide his arrogance or his confusion as to why he was the only one who survived. Whether this was on purpose or just how the book fell, I don't know but the ultimate outcome was that the book felt real.
    • 2/5
      Incredible story that is poorly written.
    • 4/5
      This story has me wondering is this for real, but I believed every last word of it, since it rings true to me personally and professionally. Well told by the author, and this memoir seemed honest and heartfelt.
    • 3/5
      I found this book very sad but interesting. I actually learned many things I did not know about what happens to you when you are exposed to the water for a prolonged length of time.
