I will list additional blurbs and reviews of the book as they come in to me.
"The Trek is marvelous. I read it in one session - could not put it down. It's vivid and exciting and nauseating and brutal and soft and very, very honest."
– Sherry Suib Cohen, author of 24 books with major publishers, and Contributing Editor at McCall's, Rosie, New Woman and Lifetime Magazines. (She wishes she had the courage to climb Mount Everest, or even Kala Patthar.)
“Armchair explorers often fantasize about what it might be like to climb Everest, or some other peak seemingly attainable only by the super-fit. Schachne wondered as well, but chose a more achievable goal - a Himalayan peak some 10,000 feet shorter than Everest. This is the fascinating tale of the journey of an “Everyman” who ventures on the trip of a lifetime, finding humor and self-awareness amidst the stomach-churning hardship.”
– Jeff Blumenfeld, editor, ExpeditionNews.com and author, "You Want to Go Where?" (Skyhorse Publishing, 2009.)
“The Trek takes a walk in the woods to a much higher altitude. Schachne has written a must-read-to-believe mountain odyssey at once fascinating and terrifying, and above all else, inspiring. If you've never pushed the limits of your mind and body, The Trek may embolden you to try.”
– Jeff Oestreicher, MD and former writer and producer for Dr. Mehmet Oz
