Jungle Child
I am reading Jungle Child, a non-fiction about a German born girl who grew up in the jungle, living with some primitive tribe. Not sure if you can call it an autobiography. I only got through the first few chapters, and it does not appear that she was misplaced like the classic Victor the Wild Boy.
Generally I prefer non-fiction to fictions, but usually I read only non-fiction that is written in a first-person point of view. Otherwise it is too impersonal and simply boring. True accounts of Holocaust survivors are my favourite. What sucks is that most of the survivors that are still alive today are so close to the grave, and soon there will be no new books that are written by Holocaust survivors.
