    Very Good Book
  

*by L***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2011*

I always had a hard time trying to explain to people in my family or friends outside the industry exactly what it is I do.  This Book really is a good description of rig life.  Very accurate.  My son and I read this book together.  He is 10.  He was very interested in the book and could not wait to get to the next chapter.  The techinical and historical parts in the book were very interesting.  Some parts of the book made me laugh, some were very emotional.  Especially the time when the families were not being promptly notified about their loved ones.  The not knowing must have been hell.  Then either the happiness that your loved one made it or the sadness that followed revelations of the end.  Even the ones that did survive are changed either physically, emotionally or both for ever. Some parts really pissed me off to know that in this day of safety and work practices that the managers made such poor choices on cutting corners to save a penny.  The thing that sticks out for me is the loss the families endured.  It seemed like their loss and suffering took a back seat to the enormity of the event itself.  The report of the moments leading up to the blow out and explosion, during the fire and after the abandonment were so intense I could not put the book down.  I try to put myself in their shoes.  What would I do?  I can not imagine and refuse to speculate.  I just wanted to pass on my gratitude to John for such a Book.  I really could not put it down.  I am going to read it again to make sure I did not miss anything.  I also plan on sending copies of this book to family members as gifts.

    great job of telling the story of the Deepwater Horizon
  

*by J***P on Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2011*

I was looking foward to reading this book since I first heard rumors of it on gcaptain.com. As a working mariner and someone who has spent years working in the oilfield I was looking forward to learning more about what really happened out there that night.I enjoyed reading the book. It was a real page turner. I got a lot out of the explainations of how the drilling operations worked and what exactly went on while they were drilling the well. It was interesting to find out more about what the rig used all that cement and barite we would carry out to them for.I thought the best part of the book was how the writers tried to get across to readers what it is really like offshore. No one really gets it unless they have experienced it. Its a small world out here and crews become like family. I think they could have improved the story by writing a little more about more of the crewmembers and thier daily life onboard the rig.I was a little confused about some of the more technical aspects of the drilling operations, I could have benefited from more simple explainations and pictures of how they pumped the cement down to flush out the mud, etc.All in all, the book was a good read. It was interesting to learn some of the history of the rigs and the companies and how that all tied into what happened on the Deepwater Horizon. I hope there will be some important "lessons learned" from this accident and we will never see anything like this again.

    Excellent from page 1 to the very end.
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2012*

At its Prologue, Capt. John Konrad, asks the reader "I ask that you read this book, and judge for yourselves if we have succeeded", and the only possible reply is: Yes, you have.I've been working for a short time on the offshore business, but I've always been a big fan of journalistic accounts of true facts (i.e. "Barbarians at the Gate", "Too Big To Fail", "And the Band Played on" and so forth) and, since I've started working offshore, by chance on a well belonging to BP, I became a fast and avid reader of accounts of the Horizon disaster.All I can say is, in my modest opinion, this book is by far the best written on the subject. Not only because it tells the story as a whole and does not place blame on specific individuals or, again in my opinion, companies, but in circumstances that escalated up to the tragedy, but also because anybody can understand it.It explains the enormous diversity of different equipment, departments, hierarchical positions and people, from any and all walks of life, that constitute an oil rig.It was also written in way that captures your attention and you just can't put it down.Truly excellent and a certain "read again" item.Denis Paolillo
