Left for Dead: My Journey Home from Everest by Stephen G. Michaud, Beck Weathers

3.0

---

The first 100 pages of this memoir are a detailed account of Weathers' journey up and down Everest and prove quite engaging. From there on, we jump back to his childhood and learn more about his marriage and family. While there are more accounts of mountain climbing later on, the pacing and focus of this book doesn't seem well honed. I do enjoy the narrative style as written and did not have a hard time speeding through this book.
