and so here we are. Like most 1 or 2 star reviews I have issues with the book. Not the subject matter. Either you applaud the attempt or you have no interest in it. But the way it’s presented. God Almighty! No wonder it took him 2 years. If he would have taken a few weeks to look at what he was going to do, he could have walked it in a year. Relying on other people is no way to get YOUR dream accomplished. Do it yourself! Take the responsibility. Take the blame. Take the credit. But realize it’s you. Not “them†trying to hold you back. Simply can not recommend this.
A very amazing story of sacrifice, perseverance and pain all rolled up into an adventure story unprecedented in modern history. After Ed traverses literally thousands of miles of mountain terrain, jungle, swamp and flooded riverine areas on foot he actually complains, towards reaching small areas that resemble civilization, that the loggers, and cattlemen conspired to tame some of the vast country for commercial purposes. As I continued reading, I thought - really - and the many indigenous people that he met along the way, who were living in squalor, should continue to do what? I would have rated the book 5 stars had it not been for that one complaint. I'm sure Ed and many others will disagree with my thoughts, however, I still enjoyed the book.
Ed Stafford's epic expedition from the source of the Amazon to the mouth of the Atlantic ocean is absolutely astonishing in concept alone. His account in "Walking the Amazon" digs into the deeper experience of struggling through swamps of bramble and quagmire, the difficulties of managing the expedition, and the struggle to manage himself mentally and emotionally through the self-imposed ordeal.This walk is not a stroll, so if you're interested in flora and fauna you won't find it here. What you fill find is a man struggling through the thickest bramble, swamps, mud, and with his own self as he accomplishes something which had never been done before. Hostile and fearful natives, bizarre beliefs about "white men", and bureaucracy all add to the complexity of this mission.
A little drab in the middle, I felt like he was pissing and moaning about his emotional / mental state more than even describing why/what he went through physically to be exhausted along with his travel mates, what the saw including wildlife, etc. Although he does express the minds numbing ness of the expidetion. Overall it was a good book, and a truly amazing accomplishment!
I remember browsing about Ed Stafford's journey briefly and decided that I had to know more about the journey that took him from the source of the Amazon all the way to the sea. Stafford's detailed analysis of what it was like to be the first known human in history to walk the entire length of the Amazon is one tale that will leave you feeling like you stepped into the jungle with Stafford himself. Each chapter flows really well into the next. Battling both mental and psychical obstacles on this expedition, from feelings of loneliness, mosquitoes, pit vipers, and feelings of doubt, there are also moments of joy, camaraderie, and gratefulness. Stafford manages to conquer each obstacle in his own unique way, all the while setting out to do what no one had done before. With every thorny bramble and river crossing, this heroic Englishman is proof that, with determination and preservation, we are capable of great things! This was one of the best books I have ever read. I have gained another great role model in Stafford. For the "armchair explorers", the truly adventurous or those wishing they can leave their rat race existence behind for a while, this book is one that should be on every literacy list! Upon every completed chapter, I would brag to friends about Stafford's escapades as if I had done exactly what he did! Now you know that is a great read!
I've dipped into virtually every part of the trip that the author walked, step-by-step. but i did nothing like Stafford did in striding the whole thing. while in Iquitos, Peru on the headwaters of the Amazon, i offered to join him for a week walking, but he misunderstood and replied he already had a guide. Ed is either a terrific writer or had a strong editor, for the book is a pleasure to read, whereas a lesser told tale would have grown stale after the first millionth step through that most inhospital environment on earth.
The book is really about his walk. It's not about the jungle, the flora and fauna. It's not about the people he meets. It is unfortunately very weak in even giving a good portrait of his longest walking partner (over two years), Cho. It has only passing mention of the terrible things that have happened to the tribes. It barely considers the political situations. Ed slogs and his book is about a 860 day slog. It's interesting in it's own self absorbed, myopically focused way (poor me! I got myself addicted to valium in the jungle), but it could have been so much better.That said, many record setters ARE myopically focused. Someone with more interest in what is around them or the people they talk to (I can't believe he didn't learn Spanish or Portuguese in preparation) might not have gotten the feat done.
A big thumbs up to Ed Stafford; what a truly amazing achievement. A big thumbs down to his publisher, however. The text needs editing, perhaps even ghost writing. Ed is clearly an extraordinary guy but his impressive talents don't extend to writing yet. His publisher should have recognised this and helped him with it because this seemingly raw, unedited manuscript detracts from what should be a more polished and gripping read.
