Lair Of The Leopard: Mission Survival #8 by Bear Grylls Red Fox Supplied for review by Random HouseNew Zealand |
Reviewed By: Dylan Howell |
When I finished the previous Bear Grylls book Rage Of The Rhino I couldn't wait until Lair of the Leopard arrived, and let me just say it didn't disappoint. Once again we meet Beck Granger, the orphaned child pursuing one goal; to save the world from evil corporations poisoning it. When we last saw Beck he was declared dead, and the LUMOS Corporation forgot all about him. Little did they know, he was climbing across the Nepalese mountains to take them down once and for all. Bears Grylls has proved again and again that he can survive the wild. Now he has proven he can write a good book too! Bear writes a story with description; the anxiety of the characters' problems makes the books addictive and you will be unable to put one down once you start reading. Bear's knowledge of the wild is immeasurable, and he incorporates this into his books as much as he can. When the characters face a problem, it's almost always life-threatening, and as they get weaker in their journeys the pressure grows on anyone reading, giving it a sense of reality unforgettable to the reader. This book is amazing, Bear Grylls should be proud of the work he produced. I should mention that this is a series, and it is a series that must be read in order. But that isn't a problem, all nine books are brilliant, and they eventually reach a climax sure to fill you with joy. This book, and all other Bear Grylls books, is stupendous, and I greatly recommend reading this series. |
