Adventure in Paradise

"Fear is something I don't think you experience unless you have a choice. If you have a choice, then you're liable to be afraid. But without a choice, what is there to be afraid of? You just go along doing what has to be done."
After surviving a plane crash on a sight-seeing trip, a wounded trio make their way through the tropical countryside and meet up with native people.
Pretty well-written although the author sometimes adds tedious and unnecessary details.

A good story but with far too much detail. Perhaps the author felt obliged to put every research detail into his book as a tribute to those who didn't make it out alive.

It was however a remarkable tale of foolishness, tragedy, heroism, and ingenuity in an easily forgotten part of the world during a time of much more pressing events.

A very good book in terms of getting even more insight into Altman the man.

Incidentally (or not???), he was a serious weed smoker but now I know he toked into his old age. Pot brownies at the Oscars.
