Negative Positive
Title: A Major disappointment
Review: Like several others who have reviewed this book, I found it a total waste of time. I was able to read the entire book in one day and I kept thinking, "it's got to get better," but it never did. There is no sense of what drives this woman, no personal history in which to "get to know her" and certainly nothing is added to the Everest story, either historically or in the context of the '96 tragedy. I found it shallow and filled with exclamation points that made no point. While I certainly understand and accept the intuitive mind and its differences from a more analytical perspective, this book did little in the way of informing me about the mountain or the author. Instead it seems trite and superficial and filled with pithy statements and insinuations which discredit her perspective. I am, however, thrilled that she made the summit and returned safely and that it fulfilled a personal quest she had. I only wish she hadn't written so poorly about it.
Is the review positive or negative?
