The story is tragic, however a great read. Jon K has a very easy sympathetic (for the material) style so easy to race through the book. We have all heard of people climbing Everest, however this brings it to life for non mountaineers. For example, the effects of altitude explained very well. I was fascinated by the film, and this book perfect accompaniment. In the day of go pros, you can also see great footage on YouTube of the Hilary Step, summit, etc. Now reading Kingdoms of Experience which covers an expedition ten years earlier from the Northern side of Everest.
