Took awhile to get the the titles name sake " a personnel account of the mt everest disaster" but I didn't mind the journey. The Author has an easy to read voice throughout the book and explains the technical terms well. I had to rush through this book as there was a waiting list for this library book mind you this is in 2024 for a book written in 1997. So I feel that speaks for it's self. This is a fairly good book. I wasn’t thrilled by it, but it wasn’t a book that I disliked entirely. There is something that bothered me about this book that kept me from giving it a higher rating. I relied on this app to motivate me to finish the book.

Despite knowing the story somewhat already, found it a gripping read. Will be thinking about what transpired and those involved for a while yet.

I've read this book about five times now since i picked it up from a thrift store some 4-5 years ago. This is the book I throw into my own face everytime my 23 year old ass with a stamina of an 80 year old starts dreaming about climbing the Everest.
