Best Book of 2020

Since I was offered an Amazon gift card when quitting my previous job, I have a Kindle e-book reader (I would still not recommend this device anyway). And since then I read more books than ever. I love the way you focus on only reading on this kind of device. It’s even easier for me (french speaking) to have a dictionary included when I’m reading in English.

But let’s focus on what I read in 2020 and my best book: The Abominable by Dan Simmons. Why? The story of this book is fascinating. No, not only the story in this book, the story of how this book came to be. I’ve never been a fan of prefaces. But this one is the best I’ve ever read.

The plot is full of details on mountain climbing expeditions in places where no human life should be. As it’s often said, men or women are not adapted to this kind of extreme altitude.

My piece of advice: read this book. I loved a lot of Dan Simmons books, it might not be the best but it’s still an easy recommendation.
