sandman_1961 's review for:
Mud, Sweat and Tears
by Bear Grylls
An interesting book. A good insight into the life of one of the inspirational characters for millions of people (scouts and others). I found the style and pace of the book great and if it hadn't been for the need to go to bed so I was able to get up for work the next day I could have easily read on through the night. It is one of the few books that I have read recently that I can say this for. The chapters are short, but over 100 of them. This is fine as it lets you take a break and think before continuing, if you want to reflect on the message or feeling of the chapter.
Bear Grylls truly is inspirational. His childhood seems from the outside privileged, but obviously had a profound effect on him. His life after school also is impressive. The accounts of his army career, his accident and his Everest climb make you feel every step and ounce of effort. It is great story telling.
Bear also give an insight into the origins of his personal Christian faith. I respect this, as it is done in a personal way and not thrust at you.
I hope we see a 'sequel' covering a bit more detail and behind the scenes from his current work as I am sure that the back stories will be fascinating..
