Customer Reviews

Climb or Die

I loved it. Since I had to read this book for a school report, I thought it might be boring. But after reading the first few sentences, I was hooked and never stopped till I finished it. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes suspense fiction and a semi-short book.

An adventurous book!

If you want a book that has a lot of action and an book that will get your attention, then pick Climb or Die. This book is really good; it's one of the best you'll ever read. There's a family going on a trip, and they crash down a mountainside. The parents are hurt really badly. It's up to the kids to get help. We recommend this book to any person who loves adventure and action. --Zack Byrd, Robert Bernal and Alfredo Constantino in Ms. Marik's 6th grade class

Climb or Die

This was an excellent, well written book about two siblings who must climb a mountain to reach help for their injured parents. In this man versus nature story the Darcys are trying to reach their house in the Rockies during a severe thunderstorm despite all the warnings to stay off the highway. When the car loses control, bashes into a tree, and wounds Mr. and Mrs. Darcy, Jake and Danielle know they must go for help. They decide to climb Mount Remington and get help at the weather station at the summit. Since they have no tools to assist them in climbing the mountain they must improvise using equipment in the back of their car and Danielle's past experiences. There are a few moments of doubt while climbing the mountain but they persist and finally reach the top. If you like adventure/survival stories, you'll love this. There is never a dull moment in this quick paced book.

Climb or Die Review

I really liked the book Climb or Die by Edward Myers. It was about a family that is driving in Colorado and suddenly a blinding blizzard hits. The father is unable to keep the car steady and he slides off the road and whacks into a tree. The parents are badly injured but the children are barely harmed. To get help they must climb Mount Remington where there is a weather station that has contact with the outside world. There are many obstacles that they encounter such as the idea that it is freezing cold out and that they do not have the proper mountain climbing equipment. In the end they do reach the summit and their parents are rescued from the car. This book has a great plot, unique setting and some fascinating characters. I would recommend this book to any reader.

Exciting!!!

This book was about a fourteen year old girl and her younger brother climbing a mountain after they were in a car crash. Their parents are injured. The kids have to climb the mountain to get to the observatory for help. This book was very exciting and fun to read.
