If you like Bear then you'll like this book. He's obviously made of strong stuff and he has a story to tell but unfortunately he isn't really a writer and doesn't capture the real essence of high altitude mountaineering and its inherent risks as succinctly as other writers within the genre.
The book holds its own but never grips in the same manner as Into Thin Air, The Climb or Forever On The Mountain (to give but 3 examples). It's a worthy addition to any mountain enthusiast's bookshelf but if you are looking for just one mountaineering book you'd walk past this one to get to others. >>More Details |

I rarely read books but thought I would give this a go. I couldn't put the book down after reading every chapter hoping this would be the one where joe was free of these monsters. To call them monsters is a compliment actually but cannot think of a word that best describes them. I am lost for words.It is beyond me how people can be so cruel as to harm a helpless child. As a mother myself, it breaks my heart to think this happens to innocent children out there. Would highly recommend this book.
Great book Joe! Hope you and your family are all keeping well!:) >>More Details |

This book is the story of Bear Grylls' attempt to cross the arctic Atlantic ocean in an open inflatable beat. Bear leads a team of five on this challenge, and he tells the story of how the trip was organised and how close it came to disaster.
I've read Bear's tale of climbing Everest (Facing Up) which is, to be honest, the better book. Facing the Frozen Ocean was an enjoyable holiday read but it didn't grip me in the same way that the Everest adventure did. Partly, I suspect that's because Bear himself loses the impetus to continue these adventures part-way through the trip; there is one appalling leg of the journey where death was very, very close. An angry Atlantic is no place to be in an open boat -- running out of fuel and left helpless in 20-foot ... Read More: >>More Details |

I bought this book from Amazon last week at a bargain price. Last night, no one heard a peep from me, as I sat transfixed, unable to put this book down! I stayed up until 3.30am, as I just had to finish this book in one sitting. It's definitely a page-turner!
Anya's harrowing true story had me experiencing all kinds of emotions - hatred for her abusive uncle, fear with Anya, as she tried everything she could to avoid the confrontations and the inevitable heartbreak. I also felt her joy to finally get her life back on the road to recovery and the fact that she is a survivor. I have to admire her bravery and determination to survive at all costs. The only thing I found which frustrated me slightly was occasionally she repeated herself and I found ... Read More: >>More Details |

Cathy Glass writes in much the same gripping style as Torey Hayden, allowing you to learn about the child (in this case Tayo), as she does throughout the story. With her fluent story-telling style, it is easy to be swept up in the tale, and read the whole book in one day, hardly pausing for breathe between chapters.
Moreover, this book is not simply a tale of horror and suffering, although, to be sure, there is mention, but rather a moving memoir of her time with Tayo, highs and lows, progress and setbacks. A well-written and moving read by all accounts. >>More Details |

In the world of mountaineering writing Joe Simpson is without peer. There seem to be two reasons for this. First, Simpson is one of those people to whom things just keep happening. Famously, in "Touching the Void", he shatters a leg in a fall, is left to die at high altitude by his climbing partner and yet still struggles to safety. In other books, he gets swept up by avalanches, caught up in snowstorms and suffers many other close scrapes. Eventually, in this book, as he reflects on the near misses and the number of his friends who have died in various misadventures, Simpson decides to hang up his crampons for good. But before he does so, he decides to tackle the infamous north face of the Eiger, known as the "Mordwand" or Murder Face by the locals because of the large ... Read More:

A Child Called 'It'
I first read this book 4 years ago whilst on a sun bed in Spain. As soon as I began, I did not put the book down and ended up with bad sunburn. What an extraordinary and horribly disturbing tale. Dave tells us about the abuse he suffered from his mother, and the distress of his father abandoning him, throwing him into a lonely and lost world. Dave describes the distressing scenarios which we as readers cannot swallow in words - stories of starvation, beatings, mental torture and physical agaony. The words are written from the perspective of when he was very young, so it is simple to read and very straight forward. As you read his other books you realise how complex he grew to be. I would only recommend this to people with a strong stomach ... Read More: >>More Details |
