Interesanti atsaukt atmiņā Everesta iekarošanas notikumus. Īsa grāmatiņa, ar kuru var mierīgi tikt galā dienas laikā. Beigās tai vēl atrodami šādi, tādi uzdevumi angļu valodas apmācībai.

An outstanding story about Mount Everest! I read the entire book with excitement, wondering how they would survive the journey. The part about Mallory was the most interesting to me. Finding a body from seventy years ago feels like something out of time travel. The mystery of the first climber is fascinating. I’m curious to learn more and plan to search for more real photos of them

Breathtaking stories like summit of Everest. I read without oxgen. :)

After I read this book, I had many feelings. I always thought that there is nothing good about climbing the highest mountain in the world because it’s dangerous and boring. The book agrees with my first argument but it disagrees with my second argument because you can have a wonderful journey by just looking at the highest mountain in the world. Everest. This books tells about the people who had experienced the most dangerous place in the world. For example one of the stories is George Mallory.
He was the first person who claimed the Everest and the person whose body was later found freezer to death by a group of people who wanted to experience the new kind of joy. Which later became their fear. However, the most dangerous place can the most beautiful place says Tim Vicary

3 audio book. Very good and interesting story.
Topic of the book matches my interests.
Who was really first climbed to Everest?

Partiendo de que este libro es una edición especial adaptada para lectores que se inician en inglés es una novela que podría estar mejor desarrollada y estructurada.

Para un lector principiante se hace demasiado repetitiva ya que una gran parte de la narración se centra es describir diversos intentos de llegar a la cima del Everest. Quizás lo mas interesante de la historia es el misterio que rodea a la desaparición y muerte de George Mallory y Andrew Irving en 1924 y el desconocimiento que existe sobre si estos escaladores son realmente los primeros seres humanos que hicieron cumbre en el Everest.
