I wanted to read this book because it's been passed around my family and every one who has read it has sighed the book. and i wanted to sign the book. The first part of the book was really slow but once it got to the part where Joe falls, it got a lot better. This book is good but not one of the books that you can't put down. The two main charters are Joe Simpson ans Simon Yates and personally i like Simon better then Joe, because Simon is always happy and exited to do things and never worried, but Joe is always worried about things no matter what it is. I think something interesting about this book is that Joe Simpson the main character is also the author of the book. I thought that that was a pretty cool fact about the book. If any ones looking for a book thats good and not in a series you should read Touching the Void!!
This is a photo of Joe Simpson climbing the mountain that
he fell on.

Tori,
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds amazing, i will definitely try and read this sometime. It sounds like a touching yet adventurous book, i think its cool that the main character is also the author.

Tofu Tori,
ReplyDeleteThis sounds fantabulous! It seems like a book that I would't normally pick up but that if I did pick it up, I would like it. I think that it is so cool that that main character is the author too.

There are a couple of climbing disaster books that I have read, but not this one. Into Thin Air is one (and it's really good). Between a Rock and a Hard Place (about the guy who had to cut off his arm) is not as fabulous although the story is compelling. I like the idea of signing a book. I shared a book with a bunch of folks once and we signed it and wrote snarky remarks in the margins.
