Customer Reviews

Super Book

This is a really super book. More that just of story of climbing Everest. It is a story of lives and it is very very good.

True Inspiration

A very inspiring book that validated my desire to do what I love and will keep me optimistic about finding my way for a long time!

REMARKABLE STORY - REMARKABLE COUPLE

This book was suggested to us as not only a mountaineering story but a story of life's struggles. We weren't disappointed but very humbled. This dual autobiography (each taking turns telling their story) was a fast-paced read, taking us from childhood to mountain top, leaving out nothing. A very intimately detailed sharing of two full lives. Color photographs support the many stories and stages in the Ershler's lives.

If you want to be inspired, buy this book!

I read "Together on Top of the World" in 2 nights - I just could not put it down! Incredible story! The best book that I have read in a while and I'm a voracious reader. Certainly one of the best mountaineering books I have ever read, in part, because it is not just another mountaineering book. It deals realistically and holistically with the lives of two inspirational people - their individual histories, their partnership and love. It's about adventure, highs and lows, overcoming life's seeming insurmountable hurdles, success, vision, goals and dreams. Very motivational! This book has got it all!

Universal Appeal

I wasn't quite sure what to expect out of this book - but what I received was stunning. I have never read a book faster and with more excitement and curiosity. The explanation of events from the two perspectives of Phil and Susan work perfectly together. The book will be an inspiration to all who read it. Whether you have experience with mountaineering or not, it is a HIGHLY recommended read.
