Book Reviews of Everest : Mountain Without Mercy
Book Review: Incredible! Awesome! Amazing!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the most beautiful book about the most beautiful, and most haunting mountain that I have read. I read "Into Thin Air" by Krakauer, and have been fascinated with mountain climbing ever since. I climbed to base camp, Camp Muir, of Mt. Rainier, and that's a pimple compared to Everest. It's amazing and I admire and respect both the climbers and the mountain. A wonderful book.Book Review: AWESOME!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is INCREDIBLE!!! First off, the pictures are so clear, and so beautiful, it gives you an idea of how AWESOME Everest really is! This is the perfect, "put in your collection to show off book." I read the book "Into Thin Air" (another awesome book) and this book should be the "pictures" of that book. GET IT!!Book Review: Best of many books about Everest
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading 6 books involving climbers on Everest, this one is tops. It is a full Everest story from tragedy to triumph. This book goes into Sherpa culture, Nepalese customs, the formation of the Himalayas and every related subject to the yearly assault on the mountain. Pictures are beautiful, fitting of an IMAX film. See the movie too!Book Review: Love it
Summary: 5 Stars
I adore this book - an excellent addition to any 'Everest library'. The photos and production are breathtaking.Yep, it's a coffee-tabler, and it sits in my living room. It's a potpourri of Everest-ness...if you have seen the Imax film, then this is a must have, and even if you haven't i can't imagine anyone being disappointed with it.
Book Review: A Beautiful Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the most beautiful books I've owned. The pictures are spectacular, and tell the story in their own right.The side bars are more than side bars; they give essential background information that only add to the significance of this book.
This is an excellent book that is worthy of anyone's library (or coffee table).
