ReviewsPraise for: Mud, Sweat, and Tears "Bear Grylls is a veritable superhero. ... The former UK Special Forces paratrooper has braved the world's harshest environments." -- Hampton Sides, Outside "Bear Grylls is one tough, crazy dude." -- Washington Post "Grylls is a natural-born adventurer, living the kind of life that someone like, say, Jack London might have memorialized in the pages of fiction. This autobiography offers readers a look at the man behind the adventure (who is, it must be said, just a regular guy with all the normal fears and vulnerabilities, despite his stare-death-in-the-face public persona). Consider it required reading for fans of Man vs. Wild but also for anyone who revels in first-person stories of high adventure." -- Booklist
