Mission Survival: Way of the Wolf by Bear Grylls

The book, Mission Survival: Way of the Wolf by Bear Grylls is an adventure story about a plane crash in the frozen wilderness. The book is set in Alaska and the main characters have to find help by hiking across a mountain range. This book follows the typical narrative of an adventure story in which the protagonist is given a problem that they have to overcome; in this case, look for help. As they travel, the narrator describes how you could survive in the circumstances of the story. I enjoyed reading this book, as it was interesting how the main character had to overcome the difficulties of surviving in the wilderness. This book was quite slow-paced at times so it made me quite impatient as I read it. Still, what made me keep wanting to continue was how it was extremely suspenseful. Because it was so slow-paced, it seemed to enhance the suspense of the story. Overall, I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to people who like suspenseful, slow-paced adventure genre novels.
