Hendri Coetzee

The title of the book is explicitly revealing of the awesomeness of this book. The book is about an adventurous experience of author Hendri who wanted to enjoy every moment of his life while being on trips.
The experiences are drafted in an interesting way and would definitely make you feel interested in getting a trip an experiencing such wild parts of the world for yourself.
I enjoyed every chapter of this book and suggest other readers to give it a try if you are an adventurous kind of person.… (plus d'informations)

This is an interesting book, considering its bits and pieces from Coetzee's life. The editor (Blackmore) did a great job piecing together the memoir. It's clear that Hendri was very loved and cared about. The idea of "best day ever "or "make it harder" is a good mindset that one of Coetzee's best friends states in the opening. I love African culture, so Coetzee's journey really had me turning page after page. I wrote one of the lines on my quote board: "…there is a place where the pain stops, where tiredness ceases, and where limits disappear." What an absolutely perfect line. This book is full of quotable lines and moments packed around personal accounts, wit, and extraordinary adventures.

It's a shame that Coetzee has passed. I'd love to read about his next set of adventures. The life timeline at the end is a great feature to tie everything together. Its edited well, too. Overall a great book.… (plus d'informations)

Living the Best Day Ever by Hendri Coetzee
Journey through rough terrain and civil war to name a few obstacles in their way.
Rapids, flat rocks, hippos, tree roots under water, wartime with rapes, cannibalism threats…
Love that Ernest Shackleton is mentioned in this this, asking for others to join his expedition and he tells you the extremes of joining....
Like the others Hendri picks to go on the trek and what each brings to the team effort.
He puts everything he has into the expeditions and enjoys them right along with the others.
Liked this memoir of the Great White Explorer.
Life is chronicled at the end along with references and resources.
Received this review copy from the publisher and this is my honest opinion.… (plus d'informations)
