Title: Terrible in all respects.
Product review: Hillary is a self-serving bigot, unworthy of his fame. I was always weary of Hillary, reading this book sealed it. He constantly bad-mouths the porters who took him to the various summits of Nepal (other than Everest); he is always quick to point out he was 'first to wake'; 'first to lead'; etc. The book was published in 1955, two after the ascent. During that time, Tenzing was receiving more fame than Hillary. Jealously took root to write this terribly constructed book.Recommended, however, to see just how self-righteous Hillary is.P.S. Hillary didn't summit Everest first - Tenzing did (or perhaps George Mallory). Also, the cover of the book is not of Hillary and Tenzing on the summit, as some believe. It's at Camp XI.
