“This book is filled with tons of factual information. Even with so much buildup on the actual process of mountain climbing, this books turns into a true battle of perseverance. The real-life people in this book must judge who must be saved and how or if you must save yourself. Although most made it to the summit of Mount Everest, the way back down---the true fight---ended up being the hardest. Jon Krakauer wrote a phenomenal book that is sure to change your life!”
