I knew Bear Grylls had written survival non-fiction books, but until recently, I didn't know he had written fiction too.

There was nothing overly complex in terms of plot and characters. Things seemed too easy for Beck in terms of his knowledge and skills. I generally like my main characters in these types of books to, of course, be talented badas**s, but a little bit of a struggle does also make the stories very interesting. 

This was, however, a quick, entertaining read. I would say especially good for children who may find reading difficult or aren't the most keen of readers.

I plan to read the rest in the series.
