Salak puts herself in harms way over and over again, attempting to prove to herself that she is worthy of living. She is also seeking that "transcendent" meaning in her life. I'm tired of journeys motivated by this goal because everything that happens becomes filtered through this weird self-reflective glare, as if all events that happen are "about" the author. The author is neither observer or participant but actor in his/her own drama. The ending of the book is particularly unsatisfying with a rather pedantic summing up of what Salak "got" out of her journey.
Having said all of that, I did enjoy the glimpses we get of the culture, the environment, the mosquitoes, the cock roaches, the rainforest.
