In the book "Jungle" the author Yossi Ghinsberg re-tells his exciting and suspenseful journey through the Amazon Rainforest. Yossi is a typical backpacker, traveling through all parts of South America. At the start of his travels he has a set schedule he plans to stick to of where he is planning to visit next and the days he is going. This soon changes once he meets Marcus, a very outgoing Swiss man who convinces Yossi to come with him and spend some time in La Paz, Bolivia. Yossi agrees to go and immediately the friendship between Marcus and Yossi begins to grow. In La Paz they meet some new friends and get the opportunity they came to South America for. A chance to journey deep into the real jungle, no tourist tricks. They grab at the chance and start off on the journey of their dreams, which turns out to be not as wonderful as they thought. Almost right after the start of their trip Yossi is seperated from the group and finds himself struggling to survive in the jungle alone.
This book was thrilling from the moment it began. Yossi Ghinsberg tells his story in such a simple yet fascinating way, its hard to put the book down once you've began reading. I reccomend this book to anyone that likes a good and exciting read about adventure.

How was he able to survive? Was it just luck? Or, did he have specific skills that came in handy?

ReplyDeleteIn "The Fruit Hunters" - Adam Gollner, the narrator explored jungles of Hawaii and South America in search of undiscovered fruits.
Were there any foods or fruit-motives found in your book? That would be interesting.
