The first half of the book – preparation and parts of the known portions of Mallory and Irvine‘s story – I would rate good, but it really picked up for me in the second half when the group searching for clues got climbing. And they did find quite a few things, and a couple of them even managed to summit afterward. Cont in comments...

LibraryCin This book contains some of the best photos I‘ve seen of Everest in the books I‘ve read; they really gave me a better perspective than I think I‘ve realized before, possibly due to the fact that all the photos are in colour. It‘s easier to see details in the colour photos. The second half of the book and the photos upped my enjoyment and rating of the book. 6y
