Title: Embellished but True?
Product review: I agree with the objections of Mr. Dunn, who points out several flagrantly impossible feats presented as fact. I, too, have spent a lifetime backpacking all over the world, and for a true outdoorsman it is impossible to suspsend disbelief sufficiently to take the author at his word.Nevertheless, many of the anecdotes seem too vivid to have been completely fabricated. Perhaps the author needlessly embellished an already amazing story to ensure a book deal? Perhaps, for example, they received quite a bit more help & guidance than the author lets on?It rather reminds me of "A Million Tiny Pieces." The author could have saved everyone a lot of trouble had he merely published it as autobiographical fiction rather than an autobiography.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
