[quote=Anonymous]I just read The Indifferent Stars Above and really enjoyed it. I don't have anything else to compare it to, because it is the first book I've ever read about the Donner Party, but I thought it was a well-written page-turner. There was just enough extraneous historical detail to give some context to the story (I especially enjoyed reading about birth control in the 1840s), and the parts about the disaster itself were engrossing and, of course, disturbing. I'm a big fan of disaster literature too ... not sure why, I've just always been fascinated by tragedy.[/quote]
