Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A smile a page.
Review: At age 70, I have read more books than climbed hills. And even though this book is all about the type of hills than I am not going to climb, I felt comfortable with the terms and references...Tami shared her joy through these clever drawings and she made it possible for me to share and laugh too. It is a book for grown-ups who want to feel good; it is a very funny book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome! Hilarious! An Everest classic.
Review: I truly enjoyed reading this book and found multiple laughs on every page. A lot of the best stuff comes in the tiniest details of Tami Knight's cartoons. She seems totally insane. Yeah!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tami does it again!
Review: I've been following Tami Knight's work for years, when she used to be published in Canadian mountaineering magazines. She was our little secret for years, and whenever we saw an American sitting there bemused by some Canadian mountaineering foible, we'd laugh and laugh and laugh. Then we read Tami and really laugh.

Anyway, given recent events on the Big Momo, people might think this book rude, crude and mean. It is. So is Tami Knight. Which is why it must be read. Knight puts her finger right on the main problems with mountaineering nowadays and pushes for all she's worth. Get this book now, before the Ethics Committee has it pulled.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fresh, bold and delightfully daring. I howled!
Review: Tami Knight, through her bold and daring images, is completely unafraid to state everything that we're all thinking but are too scared to say. Her work is fresh and hilarious. With her new book, "Everest: The Ultimate Hump" she satirizes the uncontrolled commercialism that has taken over the conquest of that incredible peak. Don't miss it.
