Publisher Description
Four travelers meet in Bolivia and set off into the heart of the Amazon rainforest, but what begins as a dream adventure quickly deteriorates into a dangerous nightmare, and after weeks of wandering in the dense undergrowth, the four backpackers split up into two groups. But when a terrible rafting accident separates him from his partner, Yossi is forced to survive for weeks alone against one of the wildest backdrops on the planet. Stranded without a knife, map, or survival training, he must improvise shelter and forage for wild fruit to survive. As his feet begin to rot during raging storms, as he loses all sense of direction, and as he begins to lose all hope, he wonders whether he will make it out of the jungle alive.
Lost in the Jungle is the story of friendship and the teachings of nature, and a terrifying true account that you won’t be able to put down.

Entrancing read
I discovered this book via a podcast, I enjoyed the podcast enough to want to read the book and I am so happy I did. The book is a fascinating story of survival. Very well written and captivating from the beginning to end. Highly recommend.
Lost in the Jungle
Engrossing, great details and a glimpse at a different country, terrain and lift style. A real sense of adventure vividly described.
Not so good.
It took the entire first half of the book before Yossi even got lost. Overall, I found the entire book to be pretty boring.
