Title: Interest in Everest? Find another book
Review: All readers are intrigued by life and death struggles such as conquering Everest. If drama, suspense, excitement, and insight into a near death experience from a personal perspective are your interest, you won't find it here. Every chance the authors get to instill the feeling of what it must have been like to endure this expedition, they fall short. Its as though this book was written as an epilogue to "Into Thin Air". This book never takes you anywhere. The style of conversation-blocking with family members and friends smacks of a journalist transcribing tape-recorded conversations. If you want to taste Beck's emotional experience, you will have to hear him in person - there is no comparison. But if you want to know the fury of Everest - find another book.
