Book Reviews of Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro
Book Review: Just one big ego trip wrapped up as a guidebook.
Summary: 1 Stars
Lack of practical info, badly edited, quite a few errors. . . just a big ego trip for the author. Very disappointing.Book Review: My Dream is : To SUMMIT the " Roof of Africa"
Summary: 3 Stars
The book gave me some excellent hints, and it will be easy to pack, so I can refer to it....as I go.
The authors gave so many good ideas , litterally every step of the way.....Else Von Schopp
Book Review: Not all that useful
Summary: 2 Stars
I like personal accounts of trips that I am planning and thought that this would fill the bill. However, the account of the actual climb is very brief and did not give me the info that I was looking for.Book Review: Not worth your time
Summary: 1 Stars
I've often thought about writing a book about a trip as a way to deduct the expense from my taxes, but I've refrained for fear that the result would end up like this book. Poorly written with very limited content, this book is of little interest and very limited use to anyone actually planning to climb Kilimanjaro. It's chief value is as personal account of the authors' climb, but you can find many similar accounts for free on personal websites everywhere.Book Review: Practical Mountain Climbing
Summary: 5 Stars
Although my "mountaineering" is limited to hikes in the Canadian Rockies, I found Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro a fascinating and informative how-to on summiting this high point in Africa. The book is dense with practical tips on getting in shape, getting there, and getting to the top, with just about everything to keep you out of trouble in-between. This is not a page turner for the professional mountain climber or the extreme sport fanatic. But for the average hiker with aspirations for a sunrise at the top of Africa, it's hard to imagine a better guide. Pay special attention to the tips for staying healthy - the authors (both from the Mayo Clinic) obviously know of what they write.
