The book starts out great. I was interested and enjoying it and couldn't wait to get to the end. But the ending was a huge let down for me. I have no idea what the author wanted the reader to think happened. I don't like books that make me feel like I must have missed something along the way. Makes me feel like I just wasted a few hours racing through a story to a non-ending. Very disappointing.
For the most part, I enjoyed reading this book despite the fact that both love stories contained in the novel were a bit on the corny side. So the ending came as a surprise to me. Now, I've got nothing against surprise endings, if they turn out to make sense. But this ending was horrible. The narrator is standing at a locked door. He has the key, and upon entering it,will find all the answers to his quest. He puts the key in the lock, and then bam, that's it . We the reader have absolutely no idea what happened in that room. All that buildup and then absolutely no resolution. Uh, Justin Go, no one likes a tease.… (altro)
Beautiful prose, and a fascinating dedication to detailed narrative when the points rather lay outside it. Something about the attempt doesn't quite work for me, and I can't love it - but I don't dislike it either, and I look forward with interest to the author's next book.

Descriptions of trench warfare and early attempts at climbing Everest are vivid and unpleasant but are still the best parts of the book.
The modern storyline is compelling and ultimately not what I expected. I think I needed more structure and clarification but I suppose the way it was presented was intentional to mimic what it would have been like in real life.
