5 out of 5 stars Outstanding   November 7, 2008

Curiosity piqued by any written account of human endeavour/failure/triumph in the face of drastic circumstance, I was understandably drawn to Raising The Dead. What a surprise to me to find this account of a cave dive in SA had me as thrilled, horrified and distraught as had accounts of Everest ascents and descents, global circumnavigation attempts, and south american climbing disasters in the past decade of my reading life. As another reviewer put it: 'unputdownable'. I'm not a diver. Now I wish I were.


5 out of 5 stars I couldn't put it down .....   September 16, 2008

An excellent book, well written and very pacy.
Even though the bulk of the main story is laid out in the first chapter, the background fills in to build the tension before the final dive. There's quite a twist at the end, which I won't spoil by describing !
Fascinating for scuba divers, but well explained for non-divers too. I couldn't put it down .....



5 out of 5 stars Superb book   June 21, 2008

A book which is simply un-putdownable, but which is also tragic. A truly riveting read that tells an amazing story - I can't recommend it enough. However, one can't help but think why on earth Dave Shaw thought this was a risk worth taking, especially since he knew the extreme dangers involved in cave diving. Very sad.
