Title: Do not waste your money
Product review: I don't think I have ever read a book that gets on my nerve pretty much from the start. I plodded through it because I REALLY wanted to review this book and in good conscience could not do so without finishing it. I have read dozens of mountaineering books and this is the worst of them all.Whatever Mr Roper attempted to do, he managed one thing well: every single one of the characters in the book appears to be either self serving or an irresponsible airhead. Even Devi Unsoeld is not spared. The main subject of the book himself, Willi Unsoeld, comes across as an annoying, pigheaded, irresponsible leader who does not lead. The whole book reads as a mean-spirited, gossipy, tabloid trash talk. Almost every page includes some snide or mean remark on someone. Mr Roper even manages to make digs at Galen Rowell in a tangent unrelated to the book. His main preoccupation seems to be to do a job on John Roskelley.
