An enjoyable adventure, for no deeper purpose than the author's desire. I enjoyed the narrative and description, as well as very pleasing evocations of the people and jungle. As with Rory Stewart's The Places in Between, I sometimes wondered why the author needlessly, to my mind, endangered himself, but this is a trope in masculine adventure memoirs.
