The Snow leopard book has a distinctive feature, usualy, when we read books like this one, we go through real adventure.
I mean when someone sets out on an extreme journey, he or she does it for excitement or even risking their lives for enjoyment. But Peter does it for a different reason. When I first read this book I found that this trip is different. it is something spiritual reminding you of the native Americans and how they relate spirits to their lives.
Peter compares the Snow leopard with his wife in which he thinks that this creature is hard to find or even something came fron ancient stories,mythical, but that does not stop him from the journey as he goes on it in order to heal himself from the loss of his wife and discover the Haimlayan mountains.
This is the book's feature I wanted to write about, it is unlike the other adventures. I hope you like it :)
The Snow Leopard.. hmm
ReplyDeleteLooks interesting but it's still an extreme travel book which my father would like but not me. Good SHORT review though.
The idea of this book is very, very excellent and beautiful, however, I will be more interested if it was a short story NOT 338 pages! (T_T)
ReplyDeleteForgot to say bravo and keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteYep, it is long, but most travel narratives or creative non-fictions are. Remember, short stories are not in demand by publishers in general as they don't seem to sell well.
