Impossible to put down.
JUNGLE is his autobiography of a survival challenge few others will face: it provides first-person high drama from its first page telling of his meeting with Marcus and others to his struggle to traverse the Amazon alone, without knowledge of wilderness survival methods. Author Yossi Ghinsberg along with Marcus and Kevin agree to accompany Karl to Indian villages in the South American rainforest thinking it will be the backpacking adventure of a lifetime: what they don't realize is Yossi will find himself alone in a struggle to survive in the heart of the Amazon. His first-person journey creates a 'you are there' atmosphere throughout and makes JUNGLE: A HARROWING TRUE STORY OF SURVIVAL impossible to put down.

Be Warned: You will not be able to put this book down.


I even "snuck" into the bathtub to read. Excellent. . . leaving my husband with our 4 year old bundle of (ahem) energy for over 2 hours.

Again, excellent read. . . i saw Yossi on Larry King Live and had to go find the book. . . however, I kept having people look for "Amazon" instead of Jungle. Ayyye.

The writing in this book is incredible. . I very much felt as if I was able to truly see the jungle. . . especially at night. (Note to self: Must not make trek into jungle anytime soon. )The fear i felt reading along with his thoughts of being alone was gripping.

Amazing.

Amazing.
I was enthralled from the first page. After hearing about Yossi Ghinsberg on the Discovery Channel's show "I Shouldn't Be Alive" I had to pick up his book and get the details. As astonishing as Mr. Ghinsburg's experiences are - and believe me, there were many times I felt like he wasn't going to make it, even though I knew he had lived to write the book - what truly stands out in my memory is the way the writing took me into the jungle with him. His storytelling is rich with descriptions and details. It left me feeling triumphant, as though I had been rescued with him, and incredibly grateful for all of the blessings and comforts in my life. .
