A review by florinereads
Annapurna by Maurice Herzog
2.0
It was a bit painful to read. I read the English translation (I'm French) and I honestly don't think it is very good - I felt a lot of "french-cisms", basically translating word for word in some cases.
The actual climb & what they achieved is truly amazing, but I didn't feel a rhythm to the book - a lot of painful descriptions, that don't even help the reader picture what's going on. Unlike other books I've read, I didn't feel any emotion when they got to the top.
The only exciting part was really the assault & the descent.
