- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I couldnt finish this. I highly reccommend Naked and Marooned, which is very focused and well written. This is a scattered jumble of adventures that are somewhat interesting, but lack depth. My attention often flagged when Ed started to enumerate how many stars he rates each adventure. There are some decent parts, but just as I got into those Ed would jump to another topic.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was so much better than I expected. Succinct overviews of numerous adventures within the reach of mere mortals.
None of the bragging I’d anticipated from a hard core adventurer like Ed Stafford.
