Dark Summit: The True Story of Everest's Most Controversial Season ReviewFirst off, let me talk about my qualifications to write this review. My name is Brett Merrell and I was on Mt Everest in 2006 as part of the Himex expedition written about in this book. I am writting this review so that you people can buy a book knowing that it tells and accurate story.
Nick Heil has restored my faith in journalists. This book is accurate and 99% objective. Nick tells the true story of Everest and the people that live in its shadow. Not since "Into Thin Air" have I read a book that paints such a clear picture of the good, bad and ugly of Mt Everest. Although my personal opinion of Russ Brice and the Discovery Channel is completely negative, I can say that Nick's description of Russ Brice is mostly accurate.
Attention readers! If you want a book that tells the truth about an Everest expedition then buy this book! Nick spent countless hours of research. He asked all the tough questions and he actually became part of the 2007 Himex expedition and climbed to 23500 feet on Mt Everest. Most importantly, Nick Heil took all the facts and emotions and then documented them accurately with heartfelt words.
BUY THE BOOK. It is a real Everest story. I received nothing and will receive nothing for writing this review.
Brett Merrell

The Sharp Edge of a Knife ReviewThis suspenseful story is amazing. Make sure you have plenty of time to read because once you start you won't want to stop. Sharp Edge of a Knife is based on a true story. It makes me sad to know that something like this can really happen in our world. This story will make you think twice before giving a stranger a ride ever again. Giles has done a great job of telling this story, and it will keep you guessing right until the very end.

Sharp North ReviewThis was a fast paced novel that drew me in from the very beginning. I stayed up late waiting to find out what would happen next, and would put off doing work so that I could finish it.
All in all it's a very good read, especially if you enjoy dystopias. The characters were for the most part very well drawn, and you really felt empathy for them. Mira is particularly well developed as a character, especially in the first two thirds of the book. Part of what keeps the book being five stars for me is that I feel like Mira is lost a little towards the end of the book. There are a lot of characters to keep track of, and while their individual personalities show through, I sometimes wished we had more of the story on some of them. Without giving away the plot, I really felt the motives of Pieter and Magnus could have been explained in greater depth, and that Gil and Mira's relationship could have been developed a bit more at the very beginning. These are small quibbles, and really nothing that should keep you from reading the book!
The ending was a huge shock, and I've found myself thinking about it over the past few days. This is not one of those novels that leaves readers with lots of answers and every character's story neatly wrapped up, but rather leaves room for thought about what the meaning in everything is.Sharp North Overview

Sharp Teeth: A Novel (P.S.) ReviewThis debut novel at first seems strange,
bizarre,
difficult to take the first bite.
But then, the story gets going,
and you forget that it's written in free verse
- except that it doesn't rhyme,
and you know how I am about rhymes.
But still,
What's not to like about a story
About werewolves?
or was it weredogs?
Prowling the streets of LA,
changing at will,
killing and devouring without leaving a trace
- sometimes not even bloody tissue,
licking the ground Ajax clean.
Yet being civilized enough to know
that the most important dog in the pack
is the b!tch
Three packs,
one led by a lawyer at first,
who gets outmaneuvered
in an ironic kind of way
and forced to hide in the guise of woman's best friend
until he can regroup and reclaim,
and remark his territory.
But Lark has a plan
to infiltrate and conquer
It's also about Anthony the dogcatcher.
Who doesn't really want to be like the rest
- of dogcatchers, that is
"Perhaps over time he will become like them
with their permanent stains and bitter dispositions.
But Christ almighty, he thinks,
I hope not"
Anthony feeds the dogs tacos
that he can't afford
and one day he falls in love
Then there's the cop
Peabody
Investigating missing people
and dogs
and bloody trails of big red prints
These dogs don't play poker
preferring the game of bridge
especially Cutter and Blue, who have a knack for the game.
They follow Lark and the Ukan way,
but things get complicated when their fellow bridge players
turn out to be quite different than they seem
and there's also the new pack...
"The new pack follows a different form,
nobody has a name for it,
but it's a rough way of life."
Unusual
Yet compelling
This book reads like a graphic novel
in staccato bursts of
blood, gore, gristle
...and doggie dreams.
Dark, brutal
and memorable
especially on debut.Amanda Richards, April 8, 2008
