An enthralling introduction to the mountain people of New Guinea—unimaginably remote, charming, cunning, cruel, subtle and appealing—and to their magnificent land.

New York Times Book Review

This book combines an irresistible author with an irresistible subject—Tim Flannery, a great zoologist and writer about science, relating his explorations of New Guinea, a vivid tropical universe... The result is a dangerous book that you pick up at your peril, because it is so hard to put down.

Jared M. Diamond

Throwim Way Leg is New Guinea pidgin for "go on a journey". It is a book as fantastic as the wildest science fiction novel, as gripping as the darkest thriller and as moving as a love story... Not even Rider Haggard would have dared to tell a story so surprising.

Matt Ridley, Daily Telegraph
