The New York Times-
“Author Candice Millard ... pays keen attention to nature, human and otherwise, in this vigorous, critter-filled account of Roosevelt’s last epic journey.”
Reviews
Kirkus Reviews-
“Millard tells the story wonderfully, marshaling ecology, geography, human and natural history to
tell the tale of the jungle primeval, of bravery and privation, determination and murder in the ranks
as cowboy Roosevelt survived the Indians of the Amazon. Teddy Roosevelt’s tropical
adventure, splendidly related.”
Chicago Sun Times-
“Extremely gripping ... absorbing ... Her writing is brisk, and short chapters help move the story along, though it is so captivating it scarcely needs any help.”
​
Publishers Weekly-
“[A] gripping account ... Millard nails the suspense element of this story perfectly, but equally important to her success is the marvelous amount of detail she provides on the wildlife that Roosevelt and his fellow explorers encountered on their journey.”
