Assessment:
Plot: While listed as a romantic comedy, the first half of Exit Through the Jungle is a little light on the comedy part and feels fractured. The remainder, however, is thoughtful and delightfully fun.
Prose/Style: Well-written prose works well with the occasionally stilted dialogue. Overall, it flows smoothly and invites the reader to continue.
Originality: With a positive set of messages and a compelling environmentally-conscious theme, the novel has a bright, original feel.
Character/Execution: Both protagonists develop slowly here, but the active and eventual growth is heartwarming to watch.
