Wild Pork and Watercress by Barry Crump

This was a really enjoyable read. I'm not going to rate it because it's nothing I'm used to reading at all, but I want to give it 5/5.

It's in first person, in a teenage boy's PoV, and his voice is very distinct, as is his uncle's. If you've seen the movie Hunt for the Wilderpeople, you already have the basic premise here, but the plot of the book and movie are a little different. I liked both and recommend them. I do think the book is worth reading, whether you've seen the movie or not. I'm not really an adventurous person, but reading this did make me want to live in the wilderness too. I can't say adventure fiction usually has that effect on me.

A good easy read but I found the ending a bit too open ended personally. The characters were fun and the humour was a nice breath of fresh air. By no means a bad book, was enjoyable but nothing crazy.

This is great. Right up at the top of my favourite Crump books.
Excellently and richly descriptive in the few characters involved, of the Urewera, and bush life in general. Great storyline, and interesting twist to finish.

So good, I would recommend reading a lot of Crumps other books before this one, or it might ruin him for you!
