A boy that was mischievous and a dead ringer for the characters 'Dennis' or 'Huckleberry Finn' and inclined to be accident prone was a pretty good recipe for almost daily disasters.

It blows me away and others alike how accurate this “Personality Test” narrows one down. Those who understand human design, this is me.

This book is not for those with weak stomachs or who may be squeamish. If you are prone to nightmares, give this book a miss. The author describes horrific motorcycle crashes, near death situations with helicopters and some cameo descriptions of life in a Game Reserve including the humorous day of the Mpundu, when drunk monkeys fall out of a tree. This is better than the first part and will hold your attention to the last tragic chapter, laugh with the author, cry with him and feel what he felt.
