Status Updates From El corazón de la jungla

t started off strong, but then seemed to meander with nothing much happening for chapter after chapter then, suddenly, a bunch of bing bang boom huge events within the last 25 pages of the book. When I reached the end, I felt a little blindsided and entirely uncertain my overall feelings for the book. I’m glad I read it. Wouldn’t read it again.

I wanted to love this book so much. It was definitely an interesting story, different from the type of books. I’ve been reading lately. I heard a discussion about the idea for this book between Ann Patchett and Elizabeth Gilbert and really wanted to see what it was all about.
