If your sense of adventure has grown a bit stale, or when your inner child needs a kickstart, read this book.

Not a bad memoir. More later.
adventurous informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

A thoroughly satisfying read from start to finish, all the more so cuz it's a true story. I am constantly amazed at stories of the right people being in the right place at the right time and how all the elements come together to create extraordinary events.

I'm on the look-out for the movie with Jake Gyngenhall as Sonny.

Honestly, I was required to read this book in middle school. I don’t like this genre, so it makes sense why I didn’t enjoy reading this book. It simply wasn’t for me. It just felt boring and was a hard page turner.
