This was an excellent book. It drew me in and kept me reading. It was hard to put down. It helps the reader understand (to some degree) the hardships of climbing at high altitude. Man has been enthralled by adventure for ages. Whether the Arctic, Antarctic, or high altitude adventures ensued, men went to great lengths and suffered greatly for exploration's/climbing's sake. While I do not purport to have any aspirations to rise to such altitude, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. This was a very thorough book. It is a shame that lives were lost on Mount Everest, but danger is inherent in such risks. I hope everyone who survived has been able to move forward in their lives. Definitely a must read!
