About this listen

With foreword by Daniel Radcliffe.

I heard the rustle again, too close and too real to ignore. I clutched the flashlight, stuck my head out of the mosquito net...and found myself face-to-face with a jaguar.

Four travellers meet in Bolivia and set off into the Amazon rainforest on an expedition to find a hidden tribe and explore places tourists only dream of seeing. But what begins as the adventure of a lifetime quickly becomes a struggle for survival when they get lost in the wilds of the jungle.

The group splits up after disagreements, and Yossi and his friend try to find their own way back without a guide. But when a terrible rafting accident separates them, Yossi is forced to survive for weeks alone in one of the most unpredictable environments on the planet.

Stranded without a knife, map or survival training, he must improvise shelter and forage for wild fruit to survive. As his skin begins to rot from his feet during raging storms and he loses all sense of direction, he wonders if he will make it back alive. It's a story of friendship and of the teachings of the forest, and a terrifying true account that you won't be able to put down.

Reasonable story, Protagonist a Little arrogant.

The story was fairly interesting and it was narrated very well.

Quite a fun story and would appeal to people who have done the whole backpacking thing.
The main problem being it was hard to get behind the protagonistic.
He made a stupid mistake and came across as a Little arrogant, although this is perhaps unfair as he was Young. He assumed “someone was looking out for him” and never said what a naive fool he had been.

Events occurred over 40 years ago and times were different than, certainly from an ecological point of view. It was a Little uncomfortable how he got excited about killing Pumas for financial gain. Likewise, his indifference to the treatment of dogs didn`t ingratiate him to the reader.
