Review of The Altitude Journals
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Altitude Journals" by David J Mauro.]
David Mauro was a normal family man. He graduated from college in 1989 and married a woman whom he met during the summer in Alaska, called Jenny. They lived a simple life surrounded by cows, chickens, cats, and dogs. Some years after the birth of their second son in 1993, David and Jenny started to disagree in their small family. For David, it was clear that they were falling out of love and decided to take separate ways and go through a divorce. In the middle of his breaking down, he moved out of their warm house to his sister's and met Ty, his sister's husband. Ty had worked for several years as a news anchor for the ABC affiliate. In 1999, he filmed a documentary on his team's attempt to climb the highest summit in North America, Mount McKinley, also known as Denali. In spring 2006, Ty wanted to produce the documentary again in a better film definition. He arranged his professional team but also needed a few non-climbers, and that is when David joined. After his success at the Denali Summit, he couldn't stop himself from conquering the high summits around the world.
The Altitude Journals is David Mauro's personal account of life, tragedy, and heartbreak, as well as his journey to feel whole again. This book does not just bring me David Mauro's experience of hiking. But he also experienced the cultures of each country he visited. I felt like I was taken to travel with him and experience his traveling journey and his passion for hiking as well as life in general.
I couldn't find anything to complain about in this book. It is also exceptionally well-edited as I could not find any errors. I enjoyed reading this book because it inspired me to overcome adversity in my life and turn it into something amazing. It doesn't stop there. Each obstacle he narrated in this book and the way he overcomes them during his hike is a motivational narration for me to keep pushing and moving to achieve my dreams.
I rate this book four out of four stars, which is a perfect rate for a perfect book. I could not find any errors. I enjoyed every nook of this book. I felt inspired and motivated. I believe this book was meant to be read by me during my difficult time and change my mindset in a healthier way.
I recommend this book to every climber out there, especially if the summits David has conquered in this book are on one of your climbing lists. Learning from his experience through this book would give you the detailed information. This book is also a must-read for anyone who needs motivation in hard times. It would change you the way it changed me. However, this book contains cursive words that are suitable for being read by adults.
