The Riverbones by Andrew Westoll
The next day, Kevin went with the men across the river and deep into the jungle to the Balingsoela cemetery.
Then I came here and found the coolest, most sweestest place in the world.
pg 85
This is a non-fiction book by a former biologist about his time in Suriname. Suriname is a very small country in South America with the largest area of pristine rainforest left on earth. It is troubled by the conflict and struggle between the environmental and huminatarian concerns and the economic needs of the nation - and the book is about this. So far this book is suprisingly captivating - and makes me feel frustrated at the world and its corruptness. The book is named for the dead rainforest trees sticking out of a dam - formed by the flooding of a very large area of rainforest.

Fascinating teaser. I'll keep my eyes open for the book. My teaser is from Swim to Me.

Thanks for the feedback everyone :) Nearly half way through the book. It was a birthday present - and if you didn't know - I am a biologist so nice to have the perspective of someone I can relate to
I am so pleased you are taking part in this... its fun isn't it?
This one sounds great and a bit sad too.

Sassy Brit - I don't often read non-fiction books - so this was a lucky find. I guess I get enough non-fiction reading with uni/honours
I love that cover! Great teaser.
Non-fiction isn't my thing, but I do hope that you enjoy it. Here's Mine
Love, love love the title of your blog! The book sounds most interesting.

Here's mine, opening chapter of The Legend of Wolfboy - published anonymously by an author in a contract dispute with a previous publisher. It begins publishing as it's written this week.

Dusk was deepening toward another dark summer night and the chilly mountain air felt like frigid fingers running down their spines.
A near-full moon began to peak through the majestic mountain pines that dominate the western slope of the California Sierra Nevada mountain range, adding to what was already and eerie atmosphere.
“It was seven years ago today,” Ryan growled, his voice breaking the silence on this starless night, June 13, 1995. “The car radio said severe thunderstorms were threatening to hit the Sierras, but the Jacksons were set on going on their annual family vacation to Shaver Creek.”
What a lovely book cover! Sounds fascinating.
