[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "F*ck the Bucket List for the Adventurer" by Ayelet Baron.]
Venturing into an unknown path can be risky, but you never know what you might find. Ayelet Baron, in her book, F*ck the Bucket List for the Adventurer: Trekking into the Unknown, encourages us to step out of our comfort zone and into the unknown, where opportunities and possibilities are endless.
In this book, the author tries to prepare and guide us into discovering another path, one we have avoided for a long time, even though we are not comfortable with it. Baron urges us to adopt the mindset of an adventurer and journey into the unknown with an open heart, where both light and darkness are contained, a path we have hidden for fear of criticism and regret. Our fear of the unknown is so great that we prefer to stay in a bad situation just because it’s familiar.
I was taken aback by the amount of deep knowledge the author displayed. The author drew quotes and lessons from other books and stated the names of the authors and philosophers. I love the fact that the author asked very thoughtful questions about our journey into the unknown as well as knowing what our “enough” is. The writing style was simple and easy to understand, though sometimes I had to read a page or sentence twice to get a better understanding of the author’s view.
Although this book is the second volume of a series, for unknown reasons, it is not stated in the book’s description; however, it can be read as a standalone book. Having thoroughly read this book, I feel it could have been more engaging if the author shared more of her life experiences to help readers clearly understand the point she tried to make. The writer often repeated some sentences in multiple chapters by rephrasing them, which made the book quite lengthy. I noticed a few comma errors, and some words were duplicated. However, it seems to me that this book is professionally edited. Considering the editing, book structure, and my overall enjoyment of the book, I would give it a rating of 3 out of 4 stars.
A few readers might disagree with some of the author’s opinions on how to handle some life situations, but I found this book quite insightful and revealing. I strongly recommend this book to adults, especially those that are free-spirited and need guidance to journey into the unknown. I would also like to state that there are minor instances of profanity in the book. Also, there is no sexual content, and no sensitive issue is talked about throughout the book.
