Rating:
Summary: Great, Great Book !!!!!!!!!!!
Review: As well as Aaron, Rob came to our school and presented us with his story and photos. I was in awe as I walked out of the Auditorium. I bought the book and couldn't stop reading it. I've always been an avid backpacker and reading this book has inspired me to take a year off after High School and climb Kili. BUY THIS BOOK!!!

Review: I'm buying this book. The story of Rob Taylor and his parter Harley was compelling. You're probably thinking 'she hasn't even read the book.' Rob Taylor came to my school today. He spent and hour and a half telling us his fascinating story all about his climb up Kilamanjaro and it's tragic ending. Though all that Rob went through with Harley, he still blames himself for the horrific accident. His poor judge of character came back to haunt him later in the climb up this monstrous mountain. He made some decisions that could've been a lot better, but all of us are human. I haven't read the book yet, but I think it'll be interesting to know if Rob wrote about how Harley ended up. I am only in middle school, so yes the majority of my grade laughed, but I think all of the greed and selfishness that he showed Rob up on the mountain is still kicking to this day. When you get someone's story verbally, it tends to be more exciting, especially with someone like Rob Taylor. His expressions and tone of voice as he went through the story that started at the base of the mountain in 120 degree weather to negative 30 at the summit were entertaining. His expressions changed, and even if you were deaf, you would've been able to read the story through his eyes. I'm hoping the book will be as fascinating as the real person...especially when I've seen the scars.

Summary: Amazing, well written book!
Review: Rob Taylor came to my school last week, and I was so amazed and impressed by what he showed and told us that I looked up the book online and bought it right away. I recieved it in the mail and read it in two days even though it is fairly long, because it was gripping and extremely well written. When Rob Taylor communicates with you, it inspires you to go out and have adventures like he did, because he shows you that you can do anything and that breath-taking adventures can be real. I loved this book.
