" A beautifully written romantic adventure in the jungles of Venezuela. "

" As a teenager I thought this was a wonderful adventure! "

" I might have liked this when I was 13.... The frame story reminds me of Heart of Darkness a bit. "

" Hmmmm. The cover of the book makes me think in was written by a hippie and nothing in the book dispelled that thought. You can't judge a book by its cover. The author, although a naturalist, lived from 1841-1922. Well written, esp. if you want lots of description. "

" a long time ago. Need to read this now again. "

" I was hoping this would be along the lines of the movie The Naked Jungle (a movie I adore), but I couldn’t get past the first two chapters, with its endless flogging of scene. I definitely want to give this book a second chance sometime. "
