Left for Dead: My Journey Home from Everest
by Beck Weathers
Beck Weathers is no Jon Krakauer and his account of the '96 Everest disaster leaves MUCH to be desired. The disaster is quickly dispatched in the first few chapters and then it's all about Mr. Weathers' life, his marital problems, his climbing obsession and how much it hurt his entire family (though he claimed to be completely oblivious to all that). It's basically a mid-life crisis with some interesting settings thrown in. The writing is also pretty bad - hence the comment about his book not measuring up to Krakauer's epic, eloquent masterpiece "Into Thin Air".
