I purchased this book after watching the movie "The Way Back" which is the film adaptation. As with most adaptations the movie isn't anywhere as gripping as the book. Once started it's hard to put down. I won't go into the story too much but I must say there are passages of it that I think you need to suspend belief. If the story is true then it's an amazing feat of human endurance. My main concerns are with the claims of 13 days without water and stumbling onto the Abominable Snowman. Hmmnn! Nevertheless it's still a great read.
