That would be- ALIVE by Piers Paul READ. In 1972 some rugby players had a plane crash and were trapped in the andes mountains for 70 days.they had no food or water and finally after weeks of starvation opted to eating the flesh of their dead friends and companions.this is their story. it really is unbelievably true and tells of how strong man's will for survival trully is. this book is soooo spellbinding, u wont be able to drop it!

you're right,iice,i have heard of the movie,Alive.but i havent watched it yet. but u know what,  most sensational novels are finally turned into movies. but the novels i believe are better because they tune your imagination more and remember u cannt put thoughts into action. most movies of sensational books can be lacking of sooo many things, compare the books, Cain and Abel;Presumed innocent;Degree of Guilt ,Just Cause and all other novels that are screen played to the movies themselves.u find out that a lot is missing. i actually enjoyed ALL the books in The VAMPIRE CHRONILES by Anne Rice.yeah iice that was good! have you read all the books in the series?Can you compare Queen of the Damned, Interview with the vampire (the movies) to the books?, see what i mean!

True that, its hard transfering the vibe of a book into a movie. . .sometimes even if it's done to the letter, there is still something missing - example Da Vinci Code. . .the movie left me erhhhh but the book was a good read.  Yes i have The Chronicles. . .Dunno which is my favorite, although i like Lestat alot (the book that is) there are just times when am like. . .arghhhh lol.  As for the movies. . .hmmm Interview is my favorite (oooh wat gorgeous men! Grin) but lemme not digress Wink Still alot left out from the book, and like i said the vibe. . .In Queen of the Damned, too much too was left out, history. . .ties to Lestat (book) etc.
