Title: Don't bother unless you are fascinated with Everest.
Product review: This might have been a very different book if Boukreev had gotten a co-writer who could write. Unfortunately, he didn't. There is no pacing, the organization is minimal and seldom is a context given for us non-climbers.If you are fascinated by mountain climbing or the most recent Everest disaster, by all means, read Boukreev's book. Otherwise, buy Ruth Ann Kocur's book on Denali. _The Climb_ is a book to pick up at your local public library, not one to buy.
