The premise makes the book sound exciting: a businessman forced to survive in Africa after the plane he is on crashes. However, the plot doesn't live up to that, being a repeated series of hero gets lost in jungle, hero stumbles across some soldiers, hero gets away from soldiers, hero is lost in jungle again.... Meanwhile, his wife (with apparently unlimited resources) is flying back and forth across the Atlantic repeatedly in order to look for him, taking their blind son along as well.That being said, the audio version of the book is well-done, with the reader doing a good job with making all the voices distinctive and believable.
