A great read,
By smoothsoul (New Zealand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mad White Giant (Paperback)
I'm a fan of Amazon exploration books, and this is one of the best I ever read. It's thoroughly engaging and hair-raising. Only in his early twenties when he embarked, Allen was a little optimistic and foolhardy. This makes for great reading, and it'll be one of the better travel books you'll pick up. One of the best of the genre.

A Tale to Tell,
By
This review is from: Mad white giant: A journey to the heart of the Amazon jungle (Hardcover)
A book as breathtakeing as the experience Byron Allen experienced. I was surprised to find so many of Byron Allen's books were no longer in print. I first heard of this modern day adventurer from a BBC report. Having the opportunity to visit England recently, I went to a popular bookstore and managed to find a copy or two of his various writings. Mr. Allen combines humor and a great intuitive knowledge to his writings and his travels. For anyone who loves a good story of adventure and daring-do, Mr. Allen's books are a must read. After finding so many out of print, I'm sorry I didn't buy more than just the two while I was able to. Although by no means a how-to book, it is absolutely the way things should be experienced.
