Rating: Summary: Climb or Die Review: Although this story did have a good story line at times it got boring to me. I liked the idea of two kids saving there parents from the cold but while they were climbing i thought it was just plain boring. The only reason i give it a two is the storyline......... the book it self wasn't that good.

Rating: Summary: Climbing up to a 4 star review Review: Climb or Die By Edward Myers Reviewed by: J. Soon Period: 6During their vacation, the Darcy family drive up a lonely mountain road. Then a Blizzard comes in, making their car slide off the road and slam into a tree, injuring both parents. But Danielle and her brother Jake are unharmed. Their parents say that they have to find help, and fast. Then Jake has an idea. He says that there is a manned weather station on top of Mount Remington. But, since they don't have any mountain climbing equipment, it is going to be hard. Jake and Danielle then realize that their only hope is to reach the weather station. If they don't, no one can find them both or their parents. This is the ultimate test of survival. I liked this book because it gave alot of adventure. Like I said in my other reviews, adventure stories are on of my favorite books. My other favorite one is suspense. And it also gave suspense, too. So that is why I rated this book 5 stars. "But the climb got harder, not easier. The cliff grew steeper. The rocks turned slicker. Handholds and footholds beame more difficult to find and less reliable once Danielle found them." I like these entences because they described the hardships Danielle and Jake faced. That's what I like about this book. I disliked this book because I am not really into mountain climbing. I'm guessing that the author liked mountain climbing alot because of all the vocabulary he knows about it. In this book, there was alot of mountain climbing. It kind of made me frustrated, but in a way, it was exciting. That's what I don't like about this book. "For Danielle and Jake, there is no going back-- ONLY UP. My favorite part in the book is always when it gives me flashbacks. That's why I picked this certain part. It was when Danielle and Jake started climbing and struggled with it along the way. It reminded me when I was in Las Vegas. There was a place called GameWaorks, where they had tons of games. My dad encouraged me to mountain climb a mini-mountain there, so I tried. In the start, I struggled alot, just like Danielle and Jake. But in the end I made it all the way to the top, just like Danielle and Jake. That's why that is my favorite part in the book.

Rating: Summary: Climb or Die Review Review: I really liked the book Climb or Die by Edward Myers. It was about a family that is driving in Colorado and suddenly a blinding blizzard hits. The father is unable to keep the car steady and he slides off the road and whacks into a tree. The parents are badly injured but the children are barely harmed. To get help they must climb Mount Remington where there is a weather station that has contact with the outside world. There are many obstacles that they encounter such as the idea that it is freezing cold out and that they do not have the proper mountain climbing equipment. In the end they do reach the summit and their parents are rescued from the car. This book has a great plot, unique setting and some fascinating characters. I would recommend this book to any reader.
