Title: Slow in Beginning but Page-Turner at End
Product review: This was an excellent book, slow in the beginning but a page-turner at the end. I would have given five stars had the beginning not been so slow. Herzog's did an outstanding job at tackling the book using his personal notes, the official expedition logs and expedition members' personal diaries. The harrowing escape with a night spent huddled together made for quite excitement. However before this, the book was rather mundane and boring. This should not preclude anyone from reading the book because expeditions can sometimes be rather boring. This is a "must read" for anyone reading mountaineering books.
