natniss 's review for:

4.0

I picked up a copy after watching the recent film adaptation starring Daniel Radcliffe (simply called Jungle). Turns out that the film was a very accurate adaptation, honouring most details of the book.
A lot of reviews I've seen did not find Yossi and his companions to be likable. Although I feel the same to a point, I think Yossi writes in such an open, humble way that I did not find him abrasive. His tale is literally incredible, and a fascinating experience to be taken through as a reader. For anyone with an interest in exploration and/or accounts of survival against all odds (and a strong stomach) I highly recommend this.
