Title: Not very good
Product review: I bought this book without hesitation; it sounded so interesting! I found after several attempts I just couldn't read it, it was that irritating. A typical page consists of various quotes from other writers (just to show the author knows what he is talking about) and then another reminder (in case we'd missed it the first few hundred times) of what separates "survivors" from the rest of us. Apparently it's psychology.The author also likes to inject himself straight into the centre of the story. Which can be risky if you aren't particularly likable. Other writers (e.g. Krakauer, who this guy is presumably striving to emulate) know when to stay in the background and let the stories do the talking.Not recommended.
