Good read. Different perspective LisaF Read ;most of the books about Everest. It's a different perspective.. Amazon Customer said Very disturbing story of how one man's desire to reach the top. Overrode even the most basic instinct to help his fellow man and friend to LIVE!Unfortunately, I've had to knock stars off of the last three books I've read because of poor editing, and this one is the same. I read this for (almost) free on Kindle Unlimited, and thankfully read so much that I feel it was freebut if I were to pay for this book, I would be extremely upset with all of the editing errors included in it. Amazon only allows you to return it after three days, I believe, and some people wouldn't read. Prozac for 2ASAP Amazon Customer WOWthis book exposes Ian Woodall and Cathy O' Dowd as people who need to be institutionalized, or imprisoned, for their criminal, fraudulent behavior during the so-called "South African" Everest Expedition!! TRULY DISTURBING to say the least!!
