The Lost City of the Monkey God: A True Story

Mumy’s lovely, low-key narrative style gives him ample scope to intensify the many magical, fearful, exciting, painful, intriguing, and panicky moments in this hair-raising adventure tale about the author’s recent expedition to locate an ancient city in the Honduran mountains. Mumy’s reads the first-person account with a great command of the language and story, giving listeners the impression that Preston is there directly relating his experiences deep in the magnificent but snake-infested wilderness. Mumy’s vocal agility and conversational pacing make this captivating book a terrific listen. [em]A Grand Central hardcover. (Jan.) [/em]
