Truly harrowing experience. First book in ages that I simply couldnt put down.

The film was alot more reflective and introspective but this made the book feel more raw. The book feels like a diary from Joe and Simon as the events are happening. It was gripping.

Climbing experience/knowledge helped to follow. Author should hVe done a glossary for non-climbers.

Some choices, some decisions, and some actions. Each chosen ways decided that how to go in the crossroads of their lives and deaths. I was very interested in their decisions, so I couldn't stop reading this book. I felt as if I were reading it in my native language. In addition, this book reminded me of my some explored experiences in the mountains.

Me mandaron leer este libro del instituto, teniendo en cuenta que mi nivel de inglés no es muy alto me ha costado bastante entenderlo. El traductor de Google y un documental que encontré en Youtube me han ayudado bastante a entenderlo.

Sin tener en cuenta ese factor el libro me ha gustado.👍

I have watched the DVD but I found it difficult to read sometimes. I couldn't follow what was happening exactly. I, however, felt that it was very severe to climb mountains.

great book, showing how amazing the human will can be.

slight negative - found it a bit confusing and technical in relation to mountaineering.

Es una adaptación que leí en clase y no me disgustó, se entiende bastante bien.
