I really enjoyed moving beyond young-adult novels to this fully grown-up book: the true story of a sailor washed overboard and adrift at sea alone, fighting for his life. The writing style is much more direct and easy to follow compared to other works of Gabriel García Marquez that I've tried to read. It's more of an action-adventure tale, and it kept me interested all the way through.
