"I got this book from the library after recalling the tragedy on Everest the previous year. It was fascinating and I dreamed I was stranded at the summit after reading it. I took it out again when I got "Into Thin Air". Both books together made the tragedy so real. My feelings about guided tours to the summit as a wealthy but inexperienced climber are well aired in my review of "Into Thin Air"."
"By itself it's a coffee table book, however its value increases greatly if read in parallel with Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer. It makes a great supplement to that book as it features high quality National Geographic pictures of the setting and events and, more importantly, tells the story from the perspective of a different expedition (the heroic IMAX expedition.)"
"I am fascinated by stories of Everest. This one chronicles the filming of the Imax movie the same year that many people died in a large storm. The pictures are stunning."
