The Five Lost Days by William Petrick - Book Giveaway

Click Here for More Giveaways

So much about The Five Lost Days appeals to my adventurous side.  Taking place in Belize, a small Latin American country I long to see, it focuses on Michael Burns, a documentary film director who takes his crew to the jungles to film a “curandero”.  Curanderos are a sort of Mayan medicine man, close to extinction.  Their focus on herbs and medicinal plants only heightened my fascination with the book.

Kelly, an American who lives in the jungle with distant pot-smoking rebel husband Frank, works for an American pharmaceutical company.  She was sent to Belize ten years previous to study the healing plants; in her love for the jungle and a deep affection for the elderly curandero, she stays on much longer than she’d originally intended.

As Burns soon finds out, the five days he’s scheduled to film are considered in Mayan tradition to be The Five Lost Days - an evil time Mayans of the old ways see fit to stay home and wait out in fear  But the show must go on… if Burns can help it.

    I’ve studied alot of Native American Shamanism. This book is right up my alley of interest. Five Lost Days that are frightening to the natives…I might heed the warnings instead of plunging forward. That last sentiment in itself is enough to want to read this book. Thanks for the opportunity! Indigo

    When I worked at a book store, I had a customer who
    lived in Belize. She told me how beautiful it was,
    that there were lots of pyramids & that most of the
    archealogical things had not been looted or noticed
    by outsiders. She made it sound as if it were a place
    I would like to visit. That’s not something I would
    ever be able to finance, so a book placed in Belieze
    would be an interesting read for me.

    As someone who has always been fascinated with cultural anthropology, this book looks to be a great read; I spent a few summer months in the jungles of Mexico and Belize while in University, assisting with a dig at a Mayan site. And since most aboriginal cultures are quickly disappearing and being assimilated into our current societies, these may be the last remanants of a time when much was known of the true spiritual and human ways.

    In general, I like thrillers; however, in particular, I am totally interested in other cultures, especially ancient cultures, so this book seems as though it will be right up my alley.

    So many reasons to read this book. The picture of the leaf on the cover makes me want to peak inside to discover the story. I am an herbalist so I am intrigued by the plant discoveries. The woman has the same name as I do and her her husband is similar and mine is not a pharmaceutical rep:) I am very interested in Mayan culture and recently went to Chichen Itza and Tulum to check it out. Sounds like a fun read!

    Thank you for a chance to win.
