A thrilling tale of high-altitude death and survival set on the snowy summits of Mount Everest, from the bestselling author of The TerrorI appreciate the effort and research which must have gone into this book, but the exorbitant amount of detail simply washed the plot away like an avalanche of unimportant facts (Yep. I did it again) this book taught me what the tibetan "sky burial" ritual was all about, in a much more gruesome way than what wikipedia describes. but don't read the article - it's probably better to be surprised in the book. and by "surprised," i mean "horrified." which is culturally insensitive, i know, but i can own that.

Some people would probably be bored to tears by this, but most who have read any of those other books by Simmons probably had a pretty good idea that there would be long explanations of the terrain, food, clothing, equipment, etc. etc. The question for many readers will be is if the detail helps sell the experience of the book or if they think that it just turns into Simmons showing off his research skills. I've done it. I've made it to the end. Now I have some idea of the elation Edmund Hillary felt when he reached the summit of Everest in 1953. I certainly have an idea of what it's like to struggle to the end of something that seems to go on forever. THE ABOMINABLES is a delightful, imaginative tale with a strong moral center. There are some laughs about the yetis, who sometimes take it to far (such as apologizing to a cake they're about to eat), but the earnestness of this novel is charming. The darker moments keep THE ABOMINABLES from becoming saccharine.

“I’m not sure of the best way to describe The Abominable Charles Christopher. To say it’s like an unholy mash-up of Walt Kelly, Jeff Smith and Sumerian Mythology is true, but it misses the point completely. It is its own thing, and it does what comics do best: make a world and draw you into it.”

The lovable and dim-witted Charles Christopher wakes up and ventures out of the Cedar Forest in search of his past. Their monthly subscription offers children’s books and their popular date night with a book subscription as well as a few others. Each month you will surprise book, along with hot chocolate, tea and a bookmark. All you need to do is let them know your five favourite books and your choice of genre. You can leave everything to them. So, if you like a blind date with a book motif, you will enjoy this subscription service.
