Publisher's Summary

Four travelers meet in Bolivia and set off into the heart of the Amazon rainforest, but what begins as a dream adventure quickly deteriorates into a dangerous nightmare, and after weeks of wandering in the dense undergrowth, the four backpackers split up into two groups. But when a terrible rafting accident separates him from his partner, Yossi is forced to survive for weeks alone against one of the wildest backdrops on the planet. Stranded without a knife, map, or survival training, he must improvise shelter and forage for wild fruit to survive. As his feet begin to rot during raging storms, as he loses all sense of direction, and as he begins to lose all hope, he wonders whether he will make it out of the jungle alive.Lost in the Jungle is the story of friendship and the teachings of nature, and a terrifying true account that you won’t be able to put down.

Very interesting book!

I really liked this book. it kept me interested and did well with details and context of his journey. I also thought the criticism of the narrator was overly harsh. I had no problems with this audiobook.I thought it was really good.

Great listen! Engaging story

Great story, clearly narrated. Narration style is fairly neutral / monotone.

If you are interested in wilderness / adventure type survival stories, this is for you.

Excellent overall, do recommend!

Good book, horrible narrator

How was this narrator ever hired? He has only one tone of voice with no inflection whatsoever no matter what is taking place. He never lowers his voice at the end of a sentence or a chapter so you have to pay extreme attention to make sense of what you hear. The book is interesting, the selection of narrator horrible.
