A review by ccoelophysis
Mud, Sweat and Tears by Bear Grylls

4.0

Simply written (very casual style, much like his TV show) but gripping. The childhood section is a bit lacking but does help explain how he's gotten to where he is now. The Everest section could have been a separate book (and I think it might be, but this is the only book by Grylls I've read so far). The section about getting into the SAS was excellent but also could have been its own book. The Man vs. Wild section was disappointingly short and really, I would have liked to know more about that part of his life. GREAT, thrilling book worth carving out the time to read in one sitting (it's one of those books that you'll stay up all night to read) but not much in the way of autobiography.
