![]() ![]() It has a similar plot to the Charles Martin book, but is much better written, with more believable characters. I recently read a survival story that I liked much better - The Mountain Story by Lori Lansens. ![]() Sadly, even those illustrious names couldn’t save the movie from some seriously bad reviews. Lots of readers must have disagreed with me, as the book was made into a film in 2017 starring Kate Winslet and Idris Elba. This made the conclusion, I have to admit, laughable rather than the heart-rending scene I’m sure the writer was aiming for. I also guessed the “twist” quite early on. The plot at times does stretch credibility, but my main problem with this book was the utterly perfect romance between Ben and Rachel, his wife, which was much too schmaltzy and idealised for my liking. Would they make it safely back to civilisation? Was there any situation that survival expert Ben couldn’t cope with? I kept reading to find out what happened to Ashley and Ben, two strangers thrown together after a plane crash in a remote snowy region. And up to a point, I did enjoy this book. We often share similar tastes in books, so I was looking forward to it.
