What begins as a dream adventure for four amicable, if hastily met, muchileros (backpackers) quickly becomes a struggle for survival as they unravel under the duress of the jungle. They are an odd mix to be sure: Marcus, the Swiss mystic; Karl, the shady Austrian geologist; Kevin, the well-intentioned American photographer; and Yossi, the Israeli adventurer.

Jungle is the incredible true story of Yossi Ghinsberg's triumph over the most adverse and frightening of circumstances. It is a tale of survival and human fortitude against the wildest backdrop on the planet.

The book is very interesting - you get glimpses of life as a backpacker/tourist floating through South America, a look at rural life in Bolivia, and raw survival from the narrator. I couldn't put the book down. It is a little gruesome/graphic at points, so all readers may not be tempted, but an overall great read.

Other great survival tales I have enjoyed include:

1. The Long Walk (by Slavomir Rawicz) - bordering on fiction - Polish prisoner breaks out of Siberian prison camp with a team after World War II

2. We Die Alone (by David Howarth) - American soldier flees across occupied Norway in World War II

3. Adrift (by Steven Callahan) - Sailor survives in life raft for over 2 months.

4. Skeletons on the Zahara (by Dean King) - shipwrecked crew taking as slaves by Sahara tribes

5. Touching the Void (by Joe Simpson) - man crawls down a mountain alone after serious accident

6. Alive (by Piers Paul Read) - soccer team survives plane crash in Andes

7. Endurance (by Alfred Lansing) - south-polar expedition runs into trouble

8. Into Thin Air (by Jon Krakauer) - Mt. Everest trek goes badly awry

9. (added in 2013): Unbroken (by Laura Hillenbrand) - amazing WW II airman is not only shipwrecked, but survives POW camp in Japan.

Title: Survival and Selfishness

Review: Jungle has Yossi, an Israeli, hooking up with two companions and a guide to experience the jungles of South America. The tale of their survival, particularly Yossi's survival when he becomes lost, is captivating and difficult to put down. The backdrop of human nature adds an emotional element to the story.

It was survival of the fittest, and in this situation, the weakest link became despised. The disappointing factor is that at the time when Kevin and Yossi began to despise Marcus, the journey's difficulty seemed minor.

After the emotional abuse, I found it difficult to care for the author's plight. One can only imagine the suffering and confusion that Marcus felt at the betrayal of his friends during a painful and difficult journey. It must have been painful for Yossi to tell his story honestly.

The book would have benefited from photos, even if they were not photos of the actual journey but of the return trip or group shots before the journey.

ADDED:
I originally gave this book only 3 stars but I've changed it to 5 stars. After all, it was very engrossing, well-written and, above all, honest. At the time I wrote the original review, Yossi's treatment of their companion caused me to deduct 2 stars. However, non-fiction books should not be reviewed based upon whether the reader likes the turn the story takes, right? Life isn't a Hollywood script.

Title: 3 Weeks lost in the Forest.

Review: This is a good book!

Yossi - in first person account - narrates his experience when lost for 20 days in the biggest forest of our world.

I believe that he will never forget what he went through, given the amount of suffering he experienced. The way he explains the suffering - with every minor detail, every ant bite, every pain of his body - you can understand that it wasn't luck that kept him alive but he was very clever on putting his mind to work for the big goal of his life... To Stay Alive!

There was a certain moment when reading the book, that I was only telling to myself: Yossi! Just get the hell out of there. And I wanted to go to the last pages to see him free of all that suffering.
There was only one think in the book that I didn't like, it is when he starts wandering his mind to other places like Brazil etc... he spend a lot of pages on that, and that keeps you off of what you really want to read about. This is way I did not give 5 stars.

Review: I'm not judging anyone who liked this book. Everyone to his own opinion. But I found the book ridiculous and offensive.
Karl made me want to jump in the book and slap him silly. He's an egotistical know-it-all, a legendi-in-his-own-mind so to speak but worse than that he abuses animals. I admit I'm an animal lover and reading how he kicked and dragged that poor dog Flaca was almost enough for me to put the book down on page 40. He obviously wanted to bring the dog along as 'bait' for wild animals. I found it disgusting...... but I read on.
The other members of the jungle party were young, gullible and put their trust in the dog-kicker they barely knew. Dumb! I continued on but their whining and blubbering wore on me until I came to the 'bird' incident. That did it. Yossi saw a beautiful bird staring in the water watching for fish - he even said the bird was too beautiful to kill and that they had plenty of food, but WAIT! what did he do? One sentence later he shot the bird, wounding it. It fell in the river and started drifting away in the current and because he wanted everyone back the ranch to like him, he took his clothes off, went after it -grabbed it and threw the poor bleeding thing on shore then he ''bashed it's head in'' with the butt of his rifle - twice because he couldn't put it out of it's misery the first time. When he got back to the ranch good ole Karl told him the bird wasn't fit for human consumption. He shot and beat it to death for nothing. Poor Yossi was humiliated [mommy mommy...the boys don't like me...]. Well that did it for me. I put the book down, cursed it and threw it in the trash - hoping their upcoming adventure did infact turn the tables on the suffering and gave them a taste of their own medicine. If ya like that kind of stuff, go for it.
