Great character development. The book was 100% better than the movie.

Best. Book. Ever. Crazy unexpected twist at the end. Couldn’t put it down! Definitely need to read more books by this author!

Another excellent book by Charles Martin. How can he know so much about such a variety of topics/subjects? A survival story to end all survival stories. And a love story.

This book is a great read! It was difficult to set down. I have seen the movie, too. Although the majority of the book is the same as the movie, as with most great books, the book is better. The movie had great actors and gorgeous…

Absolutely loved this book!

Wow! Martin is an incredible author. I read this book after watching the movie (starring Kate Winslet and Idris Alba) thinking that the book would be very similar to the movie. I should know better, really, but everyone is naïve now and…

I felt cheated. I was lured into reading an interesting book with awkward situations, and ended up reading a romance novel. Not for me.

The Mountain Between Us is an interesting blend of survival story/clean romance. It’s a bit schmaltzy, but the quick pace and well-developed characters make it an engaging read.

I saw the movie first then read the book. As usual the two are quite different. The book was well written, a little slow at first then picks up towards the middle. Very Enjoyable.

I watched the movie and that prompted me to read the book. The book is so much better than the movie. The descriptions of the wilderness where the plane crashed were wonderful. The events that took place were completely believable. I…

Really a good book. Looking forward to seeing the movie, but I bet the book's gonna be better! I couldn't put it down and read it over a rainy weekend.

Recently saw the movie and decided to read the book. The movie is "based upon" the book but so much of it is different. They took the general story and changed most of it! Book was amazing and I'll be looking into others by this author now.

I totally enjoyed this book, could not put it down, read it within 24 hours. However, I hated the movie, because it trivialized the book. This is not just a survival book, although living in the mountains of Colorado, I could really…

After watching the movie, I found the book much more engaging and emotional. Ben and Ashley's struggles are gripping, and Ben's recorded messages to his wife kept me turning the pages.

This relatively short book was big on emotions and peril. The plane crash early in the book sets the stage for the struggle these two people endure to make their way back to civilization. The wilderness details were clearly well-researched…

Fast read, just finished within 2 days! Loved it....adopted into the movie with Idris Elba and Kate Winslet in it. “All my life, I’d struggled in the waves, tossed, turned, thrown about like a rag doll, forever trying to surface,…

The writing in this book created a very vivid picture of the mountains the two characters are trapped on and the perilous journey they must undertake to get home. It is quite fortunate that one of the characters is an orthopedic surgeon…

This was an enjoyable read & well researched. After awhile you thought that it must be a non fiction story because it was so believeable. It's a story that is hard to put down. Can't wait for the movie!

Two people survive a plane crash, but are badly injured. Stranded, they are forced to trust each other in order to find safety in the deserted wilderness. The Mountain Between Us is a story about survival, but it also becomes a love story

Wonderful book, although it did drag a bit in the middle. Great twist at the end! Definitely recommend it, especially since the trailers for the upcoming movie look like they changed the story a fair bit.

Loved this book. Finished it in two days. It's a whirlwind of adventure and emotion that completely swept me away. The flashbacks and the segments where the main character recited into the recorder felt a little jarring which is why I…

Just finished this book and am sorry that it's over. The surprise at the end really got me, even though I had started to suspect something. I loved the fact that it was a wilderness survival story and enjoyed the bond that developed…

This was a great book. For a survival story where the ending is usually predictable, this one caught me totally off guard. Once I reached the end of the book I wanted to pick it up and start it over knowing what I now knew.

This was so good! I listened to it and it kept me captivated. I really cared for the characters. I had 20 minutes left on Friday and couldn't get back to it until Monday morning. There is a shocker in the last 20 minutes I did not see…
