When I Fell From The Sky: The True Story of One Woman's Miraculous Survival

I saw a brief summary of this story on TV when I was a teen and it left quite an impression on me. Recently I read the book Lost in the Jungle by Yossi Ghinsber and, while entertaining, it reminded me of the other story which had impacted me way more as the young girl in the story had survived through wit and knowledge, more than just sheer luck. I researched internet and found out she, Juliane Koepcke and now an adult, had written a book. Yossi writes more as a thriller (there are hints of possible foul play) or adventure story . Juliane writes more as a biography and in a style that shows the scientist she is, facts without over emotion. It is a fascinanting story that tells it from her side. It is true the book is designed more to tell about her current proyect (saving a part of the jungle) than actually going into details about the accident (I can imagine it's too traumatic and too much time has passed and she just wants to leave it all behind). Still, as a survival story it makes a fascinanting piece of reading and I highly recommend it.

Enjoyed the breathtaking account of real-life experience and lived to tell the tale

good book

This book is very intriguing, and discusses in great detail about this jungle in great length and the background of the author, her desperate situation and I am like 1/3 of the way through the story.

A well-written book. Very glad that I've read it.
