A great story surrounded by lackluster writing and a clear desire to inflate events to a set page count.
What a fascinating story. It's not a thrill-a-minute read, but the story of how Margaret, McCollum, & Decker survived and got out of the jungle alive is a good one.
Not bad. I was hoping it might be as good as Unbroken, but not quite. Interesting story - the crash and survivors' saga. I didn't like the extra info that was included. I felt like the author included stories about other treks to Shangri-la and superfluous bios to add pages to the book. I liked that the author included photographs throughout the book and on his website. Overall a good read, a fascinating story, and worth one's time to read.

This was a really fascinating book. It's one of those that makes you wonder what you'd do in that situation, and just marvel at how fantastical the truth can sometimes be. A more complete review to follow.
Interesting and well-written. I think I prefer his latest book (Frozen in Time?) but this was pretty darn good.

Reads like an adventure story. Very, very well written.
This was an interesting account of a little know war rescue. The frequent pauses from the main story line to bring in a new character distracted me, and I found myself skipping around to get back to the story. It was also written with a very journalistic, factual tone, which didn't work for me. I felt like I was reading a series of newspaper articles, which always leave you curious about the real story. But overall a well researched story, and it was fascinating to know about this lost world, and the plane crash & rescue. Just not enough depth for me.
