I've never watched anything from Simon Reeve, so I wasn't sure what to expect with this. Wow was I pleasantly surprised.
This is such a well written memoir. It's poignant and impactful, with a perfect mix of Reeve's personal life anecdotes and tales of both the destruction and beauty of the world. Reeve has refreshingly nuanced takes on the vulnerable people who live in some of the most environmentally endangered places, and how conversation can both ruin and enhance their lives.
I think this is the most connected I've ever felt to a celebrity memoir, and Reeve's realistic optimism inserted some positivity into my nihilistic ways.
