Alec’s Reviews > The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey > Status Update

Really enjoy how the book finds all these little tangents to explore, then weaves them back into the main narrative. Learning all kinds of neat things about the Amazon's nature, landscape, history, native culture, wilderness survival skills, among others.

Roosevelt dodging a deadly snake bite by a quarter-inch. Insane.

Exploring an uncharted river in the Amazon is certainly one way to handle your mid-life crisis. Classic Teddy!
