review 1: I enjoyed this glimpse into Nepalese culture. It was an entertaining read; the narrative carried me along and didn't drag. I didn't love it though because the storyline felt predictable. A lot of the hints at relationships to come were heavy handed rather than subtly brought on. So I didn't feel like the story was naturally unfolding, but was being thrown at me in an obvious way. I thought it could have been much more powerfully written. Regardless, I enjoyed it and it didn't take very long to read. Probably a few hours (5?).
review 2: Dr. Peter Scanlon takes his teenage daughter away from a drug addict mother and goes to Tibet/Napal (because they threw a dart at a map and that was where it landed). The trip was supposed to be an exile from a failed marriage ... moreand a disfunctional mother/ex-wife. It turns out during their time in the Himalayas that a different kind of danger follows Scanlon and his daughter.Peter's fatherhood is put to the test in this tale full of tension and thought provoking material. less
