A review by skelleychase
Mud, Sweat and Tears by Bear Grylls
4.0
This autobiography starts with Bear's childhood and then goes through the school years. A good chunk of this book is about both his process of going through selection to become a member of the SAS without actually having joined the military yet, and then his trip to Everest, reaching the summit at the very young age of 23.
The chapters are very short in this book and there are a lot of them, 110 to be exact. I listened to this book and while I did find parts of it very interesting (knowing that he had been bullied in school and that he really is just an average guy with a lot of determination) it was a bit long and I would walk away from listening to it for months at a time before coming back to it. I am glad I finished it though and I do think he is a great example of a modern day gentleman and hero.
