Interpretation During Books The Mountain Story

Four lost hikers are about to discover they’re capable of something extraordinary.

Nola has gone up the mountain to commemorate her wedding anniversary, the first since her beloved husband passed. Blonde, stick-thin Bridget is training for a triathalon. Vonn is working out her teenage rebellion at eight thousand feet, driven by family obligation and the urge to escape her mistakes. Still reeling from the tragic accident that robbed him of his best friend, Wolf Truly is the only experienced hiker among them, but he has come to the cliffs on his eighteenth birthday without food or supplies because he plans to take his own life.

When a series of missteps strands this unusual group together in the wilderness, they soon realize that their only defense against the brutality of nature is one another. As one day without rescue spirals dramatically into the next, and misadventure turns to nightmare, these four broken souls begin to form an inextricable bond, pushing themselves and one another further than they ever could have dreamed possible. The three who make it home alive will be forever changed by their harrowing days on the mountain.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Girls, The Mountain Story is a fast-paced, suspenseful adventure and a gorgeous tribute to the resilience of the human spirit. Braving a landscape both unforgivingly harsh and breathtakingly beautiful, Nola, Bridget, Vonn, and Wolf find themselves faced with an impossible question: How much will they sacrifice for a stranger?

I won a copy of The Mountain Story in a Goodreads Giveaway. This is my fair and honest review!Rock Solid 4 StarsJuly 19: A very impressive finish after a somewhat slow 100 opening pages ramped up quickly and vigorously thereafter into a very strong close. Not sure ... 3.5 or 4.0? I need to sleep on it!July 20: I slept on the story and this morning landed on a strong 4☆ rating! The author so masterfully ratcheted this thing up from a resolute, determined afternoon hike to a life and death

Wow! I was totally immersed in this story of survival from beginning to end!Wilfred (Wolf) Truly has had an unbelievably sad and rough life in his short eighteen years......the traumatic loss of his mother, the utter abandonment of his low-life piece of sh*t philandering drunk of a father, (I did not like Frankie) and the thought of losing his one true friend in the world (Byrd) has literally sent Wolf over the edge.With one final trip to the top of Angel's Peak, Wolf plans to end his misery and

so, probably 4.5-stars. i was completely caught up in this story! i find lansens to be a beautiful writer - she takes on really tough themes, is great at weaving her storylines together, and sustains a very lyrical quality to her prose. lansens is an author i adore, and she is skilled at breaking my heart, yet filling it up again -- without teetering into the schlocky or (badly) sentimental. at its heart, a survival tale, the mountain story was harrowing at moments. but the heart and sensitivity

The Mountain Story is a story of survival and so much more. On his 18th birthday, Wolf heads to a mountain to take his life. His plans are thwarted when he tries to help 3 women find their way to the Secret Lake and they become lost in the wilderness. The survival story is riveting, but Wolf's backstory is also riveting. I have been a huge fan of Lori Lansens since reading "The Girls" 2 years ago.

I have just read this over the weekend while i was house/pet sitting and had time to sit in the sunny window and get lost on the mountain with them,well for a bit.I am not a camper,hiker, rock climber but i did love this wild setting ,the mountain right in the middle of the desert. The Characters were great some calm some hysterical some accepting of their fate.cannot say too much but it was quite a harrowing climb through the mountains .

The beginning of this story grabbed my attention immediately.There were a few lagging parts in the middle but picked up speed toward the end. The 4 characters on the mountain only planned to be there a few hours. Turned out to be 5 days. I reflected on some stupid risky things I did on trails -[alone years ago]...when I use to begin hiking at 4am- always starting in the dark. I had no extra batteries for my flashlight. My lights did go out one time. I had to sit and wait - in pure darkness for

For me this was book was good not great. I liked the premise that this book is really a letter written by a father to his son. I had read many reviews on the book and had very high hopes for it. Maybe my hopes were too high. I do like how the story unfolded and we learn about each character in this coming of age story. Each character is unique and Wolf's back story is told throughout the book. There is a reveal at the end but even that didn't have too much flash or zing for me.
