    My husband and I read this book in 2001 or 2002 and loved it. I loaned this book to a neighbour who left in on her coffee table and her husband picked it up after supper and read the entire book not getting to bed until early morning. He blamed me for being tired the next day at work. My husband and I recently saw the movie Everest and it made us want to read the book again to compare. For me this book was an education in what some people will put their bodies through for a certain kind of glory. It's unreal! I thought I knew but I really had no idea and I will never climb Everest or any other mountain. This is a true story so there is tragedy. This is an excellent take of the events that unfolded.
