Summary
In 1954, in a remote South American village, a four-year-old girl was abducted and then abandoned deep in the Colombian rainforest. So begins the incredible true story of Marina Chapman, who went on to spend several years alone in the jungle, her only family a troop of capuchin monkeys. Using instinct to guide her, she copied everything they did and soon learned to fend for herself.
At around 10 years old, a completely feral Marina was returned to civilisation by hunters, who sold her as a slave to a brothel. Beaten daily and groomed to be a prostitute, she escaped - to live the perilous existence of a Colombian city street kid. Marina's life as a wild child wasn't over. In some ways, it had only just begun.
This is her astonishing story.

The girl with no name
Excellent, I couldn't stop listening, best book from audible yet. Loved it! Very thought provoking. I could have listened to more, is there a follow up coming?

An interesting story but an annoying narrator.
I enjoyed Marina's story of her life and found it interesting and mostly believable. However I did find the narrator's voice a little patronising and annoying. Read it rather than listen to it!

What an extraordinary life
I loved it and I couldn't stop listening. I would like another book telling what happened next.
Thank you for being brave to write your story.

I enjoyed it, but....
I loved the narration, and yes, it met my expectations, but I felt that somehow, something was lacking. I know it's a true story, and that the girl couldn't add more to her life, which was horrendous, but something was missing for me. I am not sure if it was that episodes felt like they were skirted over, but i accept that this could have been due to the superficial nature of childrens' memories.
It was definitely four star, probably four and a half, but not five star for me, sorry.

Inspiring
This story gave me new insights into my life. The narrator sounded crying and weeping and it soon started annoy me. One of the best books I've ever read though.

Where is the sequel?!?! I want more!
What a story of a person's indomitable life and triumphant. Such a captivating story full of loneliness, sadness, excitement and often forgetting that it was a real life experience of a young girl who was abandoned, used and abused but what a survivor. but the wildness, street smarts and the influence of monkeys create such a vivid character and those around her.
It is must read for anyone who is naive to the world.
I can't wait for the sequel...where is !!!
