review 1: I have read both Peter Allison's other books,a nd having spent time in South America, looked forward to this one. It did not disappoint, and the chapters on walking a puma were really quite hilarious. he certainly made me want to go to the Amazon. Having said that, all 3 of his books have left me wanting more,a nd I do feel that he could have done more with this book. He could have delved into the rich cultures I'd South America, perhaps written more about his characters and about more characters. I can't help feeling that he is going for the easy entertainment value rather than digging a little deeper into himself and his subject matter.
review 2: I really don't know how Peter Allison is still alive. I love his sense of humor, and this book was good but ... moreI enjoyed his other books more. One problem with his books: they are too short!As this one came to an end, I felt like he was just rushing to get it finished. However, the last part of this journey was with a tribe who were still totally laid back, no sense or care for time, so it was probably just now as adventuresome (although he clearly enjoyed it.)Anyway, I'm now waiting for his next book! less
