This book offers one of the best "catches" of all. The book description says: Two climbers climbed all of the alpine 4000m peaks in one consecutive traverse. While refusing any kind of help and any shape of motorised transport, using bicycles".
One might think "wow, what an adventure". Then you buy the book, and open the Pandoras box of bad writing and whining.
I am very dissapointed with the book. I do not wish you to spoil you the plot, but their journey was nothing like the book description said. They used logistics larger than some countries armies. All of that combined with a lot of whining.
Here's a basic example of how the book's structure looked like: "Today we climbed mountain XY, whine whine whine whine, we climbed XYZ whine whine whine whine." That pattern is repeated 75 time through the book.
Just awful!
