This book is not disaster porn, as a lot of Everest books are, but instead a thorough history of the mountain and its climbers, a suspenseful mystery, and a travel memoir all in one. Absolutely recommended!

absolutely amazing! i will be talking about this book and the many issues it brings up for day.

Did not plan to read it but couldn’t put it down! I’ve done lots of things but I’m not as crazy and afflicted as people with the mountain climbers disease. Dr. James Roy APPLETON jr

Couldn’t put it down.
