Readers journal
When I read this book I thought it would be all about the thrill of climbing the feelings you get and taking all the glory but this novel throws a curve ball at you. Peak gave up being the youngest to climb Mt Everest so someone else who needs it more could get the benefits of it and he needed it more than Peak.I learned that I need to care more about others and not just always about myself. I learned to be more selfless and less selfish. Life is more than just doing as much as you can but also about giving up stuff that might help another out more than you. You might get something else out of reading this book than I did and that is fine but I think we all need to care more about others and less about ourselves.
