Ta książka wywołuje skrajne emocje - raz śmiejesz się z mormońskich niedorzeczności i licznych dziwnych objawień, a za chwilę masz łzy w oczach, bo czytasz, jak wiele uczynili zła właśnie przez te absurdy.Świetna robota, panie Krakauer!
I met Jamling Tenzing Norgay, the son of the first man (along with Edmund Hillary) to summit Everest, at a book talk in 2006. Very happy to report that it took me a mere decade to actually read the book he signed for me. I'm glad I finally did it! I also watched the IMAX film that was made on the cl...
Harrowing and yet totally fascinating. My interest in the 1996 Everest disaster spawned in the aftermath of viewing one of 2015s blockbuster films, simply titled Everest. My father and I took a trip to the cinema to see it on the eve of our first ever walk over striding edge ridge up to Helvellyn...
"It is hardly unusual for a young man to be drawn to a pursuit considered reckless by his elders; engaging in risky behavior is a rite of passage in our culture no less than in most others. Danger has always held a certain allure. That, in large part, is why so many teenagers drive too fast and drin...
This is one of these rare cases where I watched the movie before reading the book. And because of that I did not enjoy the book that much. The story of McCandless is so interesting and I can easily understand why he chose this lifestyle. I just don't understand why he was so reckless. Anyway, the mo...
This was a one sitting book for me. Much like Night by Elie Wiesel it was a book that if I put down I don't thing I could have picked back up. This book was horrifying and nauseating. We have a rape problem in this country and hearing how much the system fails victims is difficult, and it's somethin...
So, the other reason I picked up Three cups of Tea was so I could read this book and know what the heck was going on. This book reads a bit like a technical article, but it was also interesting to hear a through explanation of the controversy and lies that are related to Mortenson, Three Cups of Tea...
At the time of writing this, I had noticed that the last few books I'd read had really hooked me in and had me mainlining them into the early hours of the morning which may be why they all ended up getting those 4 stars from me. Eh, whatevs. So I'm going to speak ill of the dead and say McCandless...
Whew, I did it. I finished this book and it feels like it took me ages to finish these 200 pages (ultimately it took me eight days to finish it). It´s the story about Christopher McCandless who has gone into the Alaskan wild "to live of the land" and died four months later of starvation. So the st...
5 stars for the message, but come closer, I don't want to say this too loudly... it felt like garden variety investigative reporting, nothing that transcended the subject matter in a profound way. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great book either. So 3 stars for the book.Now that I got that out of the...
