I was given this book as a 10 year old, for doing well in a competition at school to build a model viking longboat. I would not recommend this book for ten year olds. I am not sure I would recommend this book to anyone. I am sure I would not recommend it to anyone who is not already very very interested in climbing or the yeti. And if you are interested in climbing or the yeti, there are probably better books. I did learn some cool things about Tibet, but again, probably better books out there.

Also, the guy spends the whole book talking to people living in and around the himalayas about the yeti. They are his number one source of information. And then he ends the book by saying "the himalayas are a region in which humans do not belong." What? If it weren't for humans in that region... you wouldn't have a book. What a dick move.
