Touching the Void Study Guide consists of approx. 39 pages of summaries and analysis on Touching the Void by Joe Simpson. This study guide includes the following Plot Summary, Chapter Summaries & Analysis, Characters, Objects/Places, Themes, Style, Quotes, and Topics for Discussion.
Even if you know how this true story ends this book is absolutely riveting for its drama, awe inspiring for Joe Simpson's ability to keep going when giving up would be easier and thought provoking for the way a higher dominant inner voice drives him on when his conscious mind is slipping into hallucinations and also for his much later thoughts on post traumatic trauma. In its genre this is definitely one of the best books I have read.
