Everest is Hollow

Wonderful novel!:
This book is a delight to read, a tense adventure. I haven't had this much fun since discovering the Harry Potter series after JK Rowling published her fourth one. I'm glad I got in on the ground floor this time, starting the adventures of "Trouble" from the beginning with "Everest is Hollow." I had to buy a second copy for myself to finish, so I could see how the story turned out. Halfway through, I lost the first copy to my wife, who wouldn't let go of it. I also shared "Everest is Hollow" with friends at a picnic, reading some of the book aloud. They, along with their kids, were hooked. The story is hypnotic.

Great Read:
I downloaded Everest is Hollow to my Kindle and got hooked. The climbing scenes made my hands sweat. I couldn't put the story down until I finished it. I ordered book copies for the pre-teens and teens in my extended family. They've been moping about the Harry Potter series reaching the end. Now they can go on, read another boy adventure and explore a new world. I also love the idea that profits from the book sales are donated to Doctors Without Borders.

a WINNER!:
Wow, this book is GOOD! A wonderfully entailed world, intricately created in this book, takes you on a journey. Well written, suspenseful...it has so many elements. I agree, nothing like it since J.K. Rowling in her fabulous Hogarts world. This is sure to be a woderful, colectable series. I very much look forward to my next steps in this literary world.

Hollow is right:
Looked promising, but was disappointing throughout, with plot development starting and stopping, trite resolutions, and weak characters. At times, metaphors were overly explained--felt like a textbook.

Everest is Hollow:
Everest is Hollow is a great book. I like it because it is largely based on Sherpa legend. When Sherpa babies were born with a disability, the Sherpa would pray for the Yeti to take the baby away and bring it back healed. The author's experince as a high altitude fire-fighter brings to the book great climbing tips, equipment and avalanche info. All this combined with elements of Star Wars and Indiana Jones in a memorable sequence of events making Everest is Hollow a fascinating adventure book. When is the movies coming?
