A review by lauradal
Seven Years in Tibet by Heinrich Harrer

adventurous informative slow-paced

3.0

This was an interesting book due to its information on life in tibet and it's people in the years before the invasion by the red army of China. I think it lacks a driving plot, so was a bit hard to pick this book up at times. However I admired the adventure of the author and his friend Peter, after walking in the Himalayas myself I really truly admire their hardships. The best part of the story comes at the very end after Harrer befriends the young Dalai Lama after building a cinema for him. The endind is very reflective and a bit emotion after leaving Tibet. A foreword from the Dalai Lama at the beginning is very lovely.
