Coincidentally, I discovered this book on Amazon.com recently. But, I haven’t read it yet, so can’t offer a first-hand opinion.
That said, the reviews posted on Amazon made for interesting reading. Roughly half those commenting took the book at face value and liked it – the account of a nearly two-week hike from plane crash site to “civilization.” The other half acknowledged Mr. DeLeo’s amazing journey, but thought his book may have embellished some facts, while omitting others relevant to the story.
