Title: Read once, then throw away.
Product review: The story is rather fun--a search for Yeti on a forbidden mountain...but the characters and situations are very trite, and set-up. I believe the author had dollar signs in his eyes while writing this, with the idea of selling it as a movie. For instance, the token black character is a dead ringer for one of James Earl Jones' usual typecast roles, and the author even described him as having a "voice like Darth Vader." When the author of a book is already casting for the film version, I doubt his motives. The token brainy female character is a college professor who talks dirty to her students. Gag me with a film reel. The author should try selling screenplays direct to the studios, rather than trying to write the novellization first and hoping Spielberg notices...
