Jungle: A Harrowing True Story of Survival
by Yossi Ghinsberg
Talk about a survival story! Jungle is the almost unbelievable recounting of Israeli Yossi Ghinsberg's 3 week solitary struggle in the jungles of Bolivia in 1981. Originally setting out with 2 friends and a guide, after a rafting accident Yossi ended up alone, and spent 21 days dragging himself along the creature-infested river in the pouring rain trying to find civilization. The suffering he tells about in his book had me cringing. Seriously, it's an absolute miracle he made it out alive. Lots of the details blew me away, but the worst might have been the termites (I'll leave it at that, because I don't want to spoil anything!).
If you like survival stories - man vs nature, shipwreck, plane crash, etc - don't miss this one. 4 stars.
