review-Paths of Glory by Jeffrey Archer

This was my first book by Archer and I liked it though it was nothing incredibly special. I had previously never heard of George Mallory and his attempts to ascend Everest in the 1920’s so I do not know how accurate this work of fiction on his life ultimately is. I found nothing that was majorly wrong or that I did not like, yet there was nothing that made it all that brilliant. Yes, it could have been better, yet it also could have been a lot worse. I did find the quote that was on my edition “He loved two women… and one of them killed him.” It took me a little bit to figure out who the second woman was, until it dawned on me that it was Mount Everest itself, who is referred to as the Goddess Mother of Earth. Not a bad read on a historical figure. 7.5/10
