Book Reviews of Climbing High : A Woman's Account of Surviving the Everest Tragedy

This was the seventh book I've read on the 1996 Everest tragedy, and - hands down - the worst, by far. It is really poorly written. REALLY. POORLY. WRITTEN. The bland prose may be the translator's fault, but the accumulation of sentences that never lead to a conclusion is all Lene. The book, also, is all Lene, all the time. It's all about her. And since by the end of the book, I didn't like her very well, reading this qualified as worse than just a waste of time and tree pulp. Save yourself the annoyance - give Lene a miss.

Good book slow at first, it's a quick read
