Book Reviews of Eiger Dreams: Ventures Among Men and Mountains
Book Review: Interesting series of short essays on climbing
Summary: 3 Stars
Eiger Dreams, by the same author as 'Into thin Air' about the disasterous Everest debacle a couple of years ago, is a series of short essays on climbing of all descriptions. If you have an interest in mountaieering or climbing you will enjoy this light read. It was a little too 'zen' for my liking, a bit pseudo-religious, but I can see that climbing has it's spiritial side and so am quite sympathetic to the author's approach. This is one of those funny books that I didn't enjoy hugely but yet read it cover to cover in one sitting and was engrossed throughout.
