Now reduced to a schoolyard chant, the Hope family murders shocked the Maine coast one bloody night in 1929. While most people assume seventeen-year-old Lenora was responsible, the police were never able to prove it. Other than her denial after the killings, she has never spoken publicly about that night, nor has she set foot outside Hope’s End, the cliffside mansion where the massacre occurred.

2 hours worth of story stretched into 12 hours

And the story wasn’t very good to begin with. Unlikeable characters who do increasingly unlikely things to drag the plot out.

In the years following the publication of Into Thin Air, much has changed on Mount Everest. Among all the books documenting the glorious adventures in mountains around the world, and the unique perils and challenges of Mount Everest, none details how the recent infusion of wealth into the mountains is reacting with the age-old lust for glory to draw crime to the highest places on the planet.

Eye-rolling
Revisado: 03-26-22
The book follows multiple intervening story lines in a way that clearly (and badly) mimics krakaur’s style. One main story is compelling but the other, the one the author placed himself on a pedestal at the center of, seems petty, alarmist, and hysterical (Alcohol! Prostitutes! Hashish!). His bloviating on the interpersonal he-said-he-said with his guide was tawdry - both the author and his guide seem patently unlikeable. His grousing about who was supposed to pay what and who got stuck tipping the sherpas reads more like a complaint to the BBB than a book. I’ve been so interested in others’ perspectives on the ethics of extreme mountaineering in the face of such tragic disasters but this is a shrill, lurid and slyly xenophobic tale (He talks about Tibetan kids stoning puppies to death like it’s so common, it’s almost not worth remarking upon. And did you know they’re all thieves, liars, and hookers too? This guy knows…) that never delves into the truly fascinating moral issues at the heart of the matter. And what’s with the music between chapters? Narrator seemed fine.

Exactly what I’ve been looking for.
Revisado: 02-10-21
After my 3rd time through Neil Gaiman’s entire catalog, I was desperate for something that would transport me to another world like American Gods or Neverwhere. The Senlin Ascends books fit the bill and then some. I adore this world and these Characters-not because the author told me I should (if I never read another book about a plucky, independent girl making her way in the world it will be too soon). I liked them because I got to know them over the series. The tower itself is its own character-terrifying as it is, I kinda want to visit. I don’t know how I’ll wait for the next installment-I hope it comes soon!

Some good scares...
Revisado: 12-06-20
But the dialogue was absurd and the ending snowballed into a needlessly complex cop-out. It seemed like the author just wanted to wrap it up already and by that point so did I.
