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

A great writer with a terrible story to tell. From the beginning this expedition was ill-conceived and left to incompetents to plan. It’s hard to enjoy the story because so much of it is ludicrous. And so far, TR shows his weaknesses, namely being restless and reckless. It’s like he was running from something all his life. Now that they are nearly at the mouth of the River of doubt, the real horror begins.
