The Final Summit by Andy Andrews

The Final Summit, by Andy Andrews, is about a man named David Ponder who has faced some difficult life challenges and finds himself on the brink.  While contemplating his life at the top of a 55- story building, he is informed that he is needed to help find a solution that will save humanity.  He is joined by great leaders from the past to determine what the world now needs.  They have limited time to find the answer and save the world.


I’ve never read a book quite like this one.  I was expecting an interesting story of fiction, which I got.  It is not just fiction as there is an element of the self- help/business leadership genre as well.  It was unlike any book I’ve ever read.  The story was interesting, but at times it felt like it wanted to get away from the story to get into the self-help side.   During these times, it felt like attending a lecture, which might have been due to the setting of the story.  Overall it was interesting to hear about the stories of Travelers,  and the possibility of what they might say to each other, but the book seemed to not know what it wanted to be.  Is it a work of fiction, or a self-help guide.  It didn’t seem to blend together.
