Left for Dead: My Journey Home from Everest by Beck Weathers

4.0

---

This was a hard read to rate. It in different parts was a 4 and others barely a 3. Also odd how the ‘96 expedition is the first few chapters then the book goes back over his life in chronological order. I feel like the riveting Everest stuff should’ve been later in the book, but I also imagine if that was the case, no one would get past the first few chapters. Considering the magnitude of that ‘96 tragedy and Becks insane story of survival, this book could have been a lot better. I read this book to learn about his perceptions of that ill fated expedition after reading Into Thin Air and before reading the climb, but this was somewhat skimp on detail. I didn’t hate this book but didn’t love it. Rating more like a 3.5.
