This book is a lengthy recounting on a very personal level of the author's revisits to the jungle and mountain tribes he once knew in the Papua New Guinea. Can't say I enjoyed the story, as I found the "exploring" part to be quite dull, it certainly didn't spark any love for the dense tropical jungle in me.
What I really like in this book is the writing. Beautiful writing with rich vocabulary. Birds are not only birds, they are King of Saxony, Lesser bird-of-paradise, Spotted Jeweled Babbler... Same go for all the names of flowers and insects that I can't remember but enjoyed listening to regardless.
