Into the Jungle

Product Information

This book won't work for everyone because it is different from other thrillers and it is heavy on descriptive details. However, I enjoyed that it was unique and took me to a place I had never been before. While I know that I would never survive through what Lily experienced, I am glad that I was able to feel like I was beside Lily as she learned to survive and become a part of the jungle. INTO THE JUNGLE has evil and deadly creatures, both animal and human, as well as infectious diseases and horrendous weather....with quite a variety of cool and unusual characters. On 10 February 2016, Daniel Radcliffe joined the cast. [3] On 21 March 2016, Thomas Kretschmann and Alex Russell also joined the cast. [4] Principal photography began on 19 March 2016 and ended on 13 April 2016. [6] Release [ edit ] I liked Ferencik's first book well enough, despite the pathetic, obnoxious narrator and the hokum plot. I ended up reading The River at Night as campy (which I don't think it was intended to be, but it worked for me).

The heebie jeebies became much more relative the closer and closer I got to the conclusion, transforming rapidly into pure, unadulterated terror! I'm fairly certain that my heart stopped on more than one occasion, never mind remembering to breathe! And finally, never mix drinks! The ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) in many electrolyte tablets neutralises the effects of chlorine or iodine, meaning your water isn’t safe to drink. For this reason, you should keep one container for the sole purpose of disinfecting water. After disinfection, pour it into your cup or flask and add your juice/electrolytes to that. I must thank you again for our previous hunting excursion. While I feel my instincts are returning, there is still more I must do. It's been some time since I've hunted in the Jungle! It's been far too long! Come now, let us depart! Into the Jungle is not a traditional thriller, in that there are no psychopaths running around murdering people in the dark of night. However, Erica Ferencik's novel is just as thrilling but in a totally different way. It is the jungle that presents so many thrills: it is beautiful but at the same time, can completely destroy a person. The animals and plants that Ferencik describes are fascinating in that they have a duality of being beautiful and dangerous. The author completely immerses the reader in the Bolivian jungle, in that I felt like I was there with Lily. Ferencik clearly did her research so that she could create an accurate and complete depiction of the jungle. Some readers may find the descriptions of the jungle and its inhabitants to be long-winded but I enjoyed learning about animals and plants that I knew nothing about before reading this book. Nature becomes a character in this book and it is a character that is absolutely enthralling. A stunning gift book, which can be enjoyed as a standalone collection, or as a companion volume to Kipling’s classic tale.Since Lily is young and in love, she agrees to travel to a remote village without really knowing anything about the jungle. Really, Lily seems aimless, but she has one thing going for her. She’s determined. Jungle life turns out to be much more challenging than she anticipated, but she works to find her place in the community.

Nine years later, I wish I could wrap my arms around my younger, stupider self and tell her to hold on tight, because flying to Bolivia on a scam was the least in a series of bad decisions I was about to make. I probably could have (grudgingly) accepted all of the above if this had been a better story, but the plot misses at almost every turn, going from slow to obnoxious to improbable. In all, an irritating disappointment of a book. Meanwhile, Kevin is rescued by people from a nearby town who take him to Rurrenabaque, 120 miles from Yossi's location, Curiplaya. At Rurrenabaque, Kevin calls for the help of the local authorities to find Yossi. They fail to find Yossi via a plane flyover, but Kevin believes that Yossi is alive. Kevin ropes in the help of the local boat pilot to search for Yossi, finally discovers his weakened friend, and takes him to Rurrenabaque.This is a general tip for any expedition but applies to the jungle just as much, if not more than other environments. When the group works as a team and takes care of each other everything becomes easier. Tasks like cooking meals and setting up camp become more efficient, and everyone has more fun.
