Title: The River of Doubt: expedition and metaphor
Product review: The River of Doubt is about both a journey of geographic exploration, and the challenges that people set for themselves. This expedition is as much about the individuals who took part as it is about the exploration of the river.Reading the book gave me a taste of the Amazonian rainforest, the dangers of unknown exploration and a sense of the courage of most of the participants.Clearly, both Theodore Roosevelt and Colonel Candido Mariano da Silva Rondon were extraordinarily talented men.It left me with a sense of sadness that this triumphant achievement did not bring a greater sense of fulfillment to most of the survivors.Jennifer Cameron-Smith
