I paid full price at Borders for the hardback version of The Wall by Jeff Long. For me that is really saying something. I've written about Jeff Long before, especially about the wonderful scary book The Descent, which by the way the movie sucks and isn't anything like the book. I like Jeff Long like I like Robert Ludlum. I pretty much read everything they write and like it. I think that over the years Long has worked on his craft and gotten better and better at writing. I started reading him because of his ties to rock climbing and mountaineering. I continue to like him for the same reason, but I always enjoy his books and his writing. The Wall takes place in Yosemite. Think of it as The Descent on crack (get it). It's not the great thriller that the Descent is, or the story that Angels of Light is. But it's a good quick thriller that is different than all the rest that's out there. It might give you a shiver or two. Or make you think twice about that big wall climb. But I think you'll enjoy it.
