Review by KimberlyS88 -- The Altitude Journals
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Altitude Journals" by David J Mauro.]
David J Mauro is a financial planner yearning to seek new opportunities in life outside of his unsupportive marriage. As he opens himself up to be available for these new opportunities, he begins an incredible journey within himself, and the world around him. Facing challenges along the way with equipment malfunction, below freezing temperatures, and physiological threats while never giving up hope.
After receiving an invitation from his brother-in-law and ready for a change, Dave accepts the challenge of climbing his first mountain, MT. Denali. Dave embraces this excursion with excitement as he ventures towards the highest location in North America. This trip will test his strength as he learns to trust his instinct. He has a remarkable way of listening for his calling with each continent he explores. As he interacts with other cultures, Dave builds relationships with those who reside in each location he visits. The love and understanding he is shown from his family forms the support he not only needs, but longs to share in return.
The way this story is described pulls the reader in page after page as you experience this adventure as if you are alongside Dave himself. Each trip offers an experience to learn, discover, and to feel the emotion he carries through with determination. The sense of accomplishment that surrounds the reader sparks inspiration as each chapter leaves you wanting more.
There is not one thing about this professionally edited book that I did not like. From learning about the authors drive while witnessing such inner growth, I give The Altitude Journals a rating of 4 out of 4 stars. There were very few errors that did not take my attention away from reading about an experience that many only dream of living. I came across several descriptions of this adventure that had me on the edge of my seat. The amount of educational material provides the reader with information while obtaining knowledge covering various parts of the world.
I would recommend this book to those who seek adventure. I would also suggest this book to those who enjoy reading about the reward that determination brings. This book has a documentary feel mixed with authenticity. The anticipation and wonder unfolds beautifully from the beginning to the end. All ages are able to benefit from the curiosity that peeks through to question ones own dreams to conquer. If you have a passion for discovery, this book is for you.
