The weight of your mirror is much lighter than wall tiles covering the
same area. The important issue here is to have plenty of coverage over
the whole area. I would agree that in an ideal situation you would sink
some battons into the wall to have a firm fixing, but understand that
this might not be easy, or desirable in your situation. I have stuck
mirrors with tile adhesive, no nails, mirror adhesive in the past, all
with success. Though in all cases the wall needs to be straight across
the whole length to be fixed. My preferred route, however, is to drill
holes in the corners and fix mechanically to the wall. Glass companies
will drill mirrors so long as they are not made out of safety glass.

I'd rather trust 28 square feet of glue than 4 soft steel screws, any day.

Especially if its plasterboard behind.
