I guess i don't get it. I could not finish reading this book so i skimmed it. Survival stories are one of my favorites but this was just too much to be believed. Everything goes too well for a male doctor and a female writer, both nearly at death's door after a small airplane crash into a mountain. How incredible that they have many of their survival tools at hand. Thank goodness we have a doctor as well. Isn't it great that this duo is dialoguing their wit to beat the band and throwing snowballs while in major major pain. Really, this just a long date in the mountains after a plane crash. We can see where this going even if the good doc already has a wife. How about more descriptive, atmospheric relief instead of all the false feel good stuff. Unless, that is, you like your novels chick-litty, and filled with chattiness. I suppose i am being a bit rough. There is a twist at the end, and for some it could be a real tearjerker. I'll give credit to the author for that. And pay homage to Nicholas Sparks for supplying the essence of that finishing touch.
