Book Review of Doctor on Everest: Emergency Medicine at the Top of the World - A Personal Account of the 1996 Disaster

reviewed on + 128 more book reviews


I'll admit, I've become an Everest 1996 disaster junkie of late. This is the second book in so many weeks on the subject and I can't seem to get enough. You really come to know and care about these characters (using the word loosely, since they are real people). I liked this book even more than Krakauer's - much more depth and background and description. Loved it, loved it, loved it!
