Lara's Reviews > Seven Years in Tibet

Sometimes really interesting, especially the second half, but sometimes really...confusing. Harrer leaves a lot out in the beginning, like, he's climbing mountains and then all of a sudden he's a prisoner in India and wait, what the hell happened? Who? How? Um.....okay? Anyway, then he tries to escape like five times and finally does, and ends up in Tibet where he eventually makes his way to Lhasa and befriends the then 14-year-old Dalai Lama. I enjoyed hearing about that, and about what happens after, sad though it is, but yeah, I wish it had a little more depth.

I haven't ever watched the Brad Pitt movie, but maybe I will at some point now that I know the story (kind of?). It might actually help me make sense of what on earth happened in the beginning--ha!
