Review by Staff Member: Sylvia Benavidez Books & More's reading group has read a variety of books in it's short time of existence. "River of Doubt" was it's emotional second choice. I say emotional because members of the group had strong responses to the true adventure of Teddy Roosevelt and his son going down a tributary of the Amazon river, which provided over an hour of conversation for the group. After a crushing loss in his bid for the presidency in 1912, Theodore Roosevelt searched for a rigorous and provocative challenge to regain his self-respect. He found it in a punishing trip down an unmapped, choked tributary of the Amazon. With his son Kermit and Brazil's most famous explorer, Candido Mariano da Silva Rondon, Roosevelt changed the map of the Western Hemisphere forever as well as the lives of the people he was traveling with down this treacherous river. The writing is not flowery, but engaging and is well-researched. As I was reading, I found myself wondering is this really a true story? How could someone who was the head of the United States make the kind of poor decisions that cost him the life of members of exploratory party and almost his own?
