Title: Unbelievable self-agrandizement
Review: The author tells about his adventures climbing mountains when he should have been in high school. He goes on throughout the book describing his great feats at a young age. The adventures are deliberated and consistently life-threatening to a young man who is too young to understand the tragedy of missing out on life. He falls behind in school and perhaps never catches up even though he is bright. The only reason he even got to publish this book is because he happened to be on the same expedition to Everest as the leaders who died and were memorialized by John Krakauer and Imax. Skip this book. Also, it was a recommended as summer reading by our school district. I would ask any educators out there to delete it from your list.
