Book Reviews of This Game of Ghosts
Book Review: A " mountainbook ", an understatement,- a book on life !
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read many self centered, often gratuitous mountain adventure books. Joe Simson really brings us home to an obsession, which for him happens to be climbing. For all readers, the book could serve as a great insight into our dreams, passions or habits, for that matter. Although, the book is categorized as a " climbing " book it far outranks others of that genre. Climbing is an important element in it and there is lots of it. However, it is Simpson's way with words, his style and the retrospective flashes from his past which really makes us all wonder about our goals and aspirations in life. Thumbs up, five stars, fantastic, what else can I say ? Peter Chrzanowski
