Product Description
Four travelers meet in Bolivia and set off into the heart of the Amazon rainforest, but what begins as a dream adventure quickly deteriorates into a dangerous nightmare, and after weeks of wandering in the dense undergrowth, the four backpackers split up into two groups. But when a terrible rafting accident separates him from his partner, Yossi is forced to survive for weeks alone against one of the wildest backdrops on the planet. Stranded without a knife, map, or survival training, he must improvise shelter and forage for wild fruit to survive. As his feet begin to rot during raging storms, as he loses all sense of direction, and as he begins to lose all hope, he wonders whether he will make it out of the jungle alive.
Lost in the Jungle is the story of friendship and the teachings of nature, and a terrifying true account that you won’t be able to put down.

Lost in the Jungle,
This review is from: Lost in the Jungle: A Harrowing True Story of Survival (Paperback)
I bought 3 "adventure" books together, and this was the first one I wanted to read. The book is good, the story clearly told, but this is not of the same calibre as books like "Into Thin Air", "Into the Wild" and "128 Hours" are. Yossi is a simple man. They seem like hobos who simply wander into the jungle thinking nothing more than the fact that there could be more food in the woods. He and his friends seemed to have gone off into the jungle woefully unprepared and unaware of the problems they could face. Seriously, one of them goes into the jungle in cowboy boots! Their complete naivete is both interesting and frustrating. Overall I definately enjoyed this book; the story does not slow or stumble and is smoothy told in that simple tone, a comfortable read beginning to end.

A Truly Gripping Adventure,
By Carl Pugh - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lost in the Jungle: A Harrowing True Story of Survival (Paperback)
I survive almost exclusively on a voracious reading diet of nonfiction adventure. But I am also a picky eater -- bailing on almost 25% of all books when they don't hold my interest. Lost in the Jungle was a fine meal! A great balance of subtle human drama and edge-of-your-seat intensity. Right up my alley.

riveting,
By Brian Williams "gentleman" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lost in the Jungle: A Harrowing True Story of Survival (Paperback)
This is the true tale from one of the survivors of this ill fated adventure.You may have seen this on "I shouldn't have survived" or its "science of Survival" sequel (both here on Amazon I believe) I couldn't put it down, very little got done around me till it was finished. This would be excellent for a very long plane flight, say half way around the world. Want to say something else but don't want to give it away. International best seller for good reason. Thank you Yossi, Man of Action. |
