Pretty gruesome story. Even more so when you remember that it's pretty much a true story.
But a good and interesting read nonetheless. I would recommend it. Some interesting insight into the 17th century, especially in relation to life at sea.

I bought it with a coupon (I think the 20% one) so the price was ok.
