To be honest, I'm neither a Bear Grylls TV show fan nor an autobiography reader, so am unsure why I bought this book in the first place! However it was a fantastical, easy read. Bear is quite simply ‘out there’ and so incredibley humble with it. This guy has lead an incredibly adventurous, and in his youth, mischievious life, and quite honestly really shouldn't even be still alive. He is now a dedicated family man, who thrives on the al the different types of adventures life has to give. He writes in a very down to earth and easy to read style, and I will in all likelihood now read some of his other books. A must read for Bear fans, autobiography readers, adventure seekers, A-type personalities and just anyone who likes a damn good book. There is also a Junior version available for the younger readers in the family.
