Review of The Altitude Journals
Posted: 03 Feb 2022, 00:49
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Altitude Journals" by David J Mauro.]
The Altitude Journals by David J. Mauro has 453 pages and is a non-fiction piece, sharing the unique experiences of the author with regards to the battles fought by him on a personal level and the outcomes of those battles via the rare activity of mountaineering. It provides accurate details on the compendium of mountaineering experiences which began as a result of trying times with his current relationship (not a spoiler), and a nudge from a certain person. Each expedition equips him to overcome every obstacle currently faced, enabling him to emerge far better than he had ever been at a sensitive point of his life. It is from these experiences that he would discover the love of his life, connect with relatives, encounter fellow mountaineers, rekindle his sense of purpose, overcome his fears, and enthusiastically look forward to life. These experiences would later reflect not only on his life but on the lives of his family, friends, fans, and associates.
The Altitude Journals is a very straightforward, motivating, daring, and interesting book with each experience being very emotional and inspiring. The author's experience at every completed task was awesome, fresh and still daringly scary. The addition of pictures at various points in the book helps in giving the reader a rare view with regards to the author's achievements. The author while conveying his message does not fail to include the reader as part of his experience through his narrative style of happenings during his expedition. The vivid descriptions of locations visited and the various journeys embarked on was very interesting, as well as the social interactions with various personalities.
The book is very relatable, as it covers mainly the social aspects of the author's life which I believe every individual has. The author shares his burdens, joys, disappointments, encounters, and achievements in a succinct manner which I truly appreciate. There was nothing about the book I did not like as it was quite enlightening and intriguing.
I found the use of the slang 'schlepped' very confusing as I did not understand the context of its use, and whether or not it may or may not be an error.
The book was well edited as I observed no errors while reading. My rating of the book is a 4 out of 4 as it meets all the requirements to satisfy the reader.
I recommend the book to readers seeking to overcome various challenges they may be facing at various points in their life, as the book is both motivational and interesting.
