### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Could have been brilliant as a set of memoirs from the survivors
  

*by N***I on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 May 2017*

I remember the story when it was in the news so you know the outcome. Could have been brilliant as a set of memoirs from the survivors, but despite the writer being a journalist, I felt it lacked the finesse of a good 'true story' book. The names of the explorers are difficult to remember and without pictures as you go along to help understand the various descriptions, it can be a struggle for non climbers to plough through. No doubt a Hollywood producer in the future will latch on to this and then you'll get a running commentary as it happened in realtime rather than complete renditions back to back. Disappointing.

    Too late
  

*by N***L on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 July 2011*

This is a gripping and frightening read about death on K2. I read the book in a couple of days though I had to be careful to pick the spot for an overnight break.  It  is the story a 'group' of individuals; self-obsessed climbers who had a brief glimpse of their own mortality on K2.  A lesson too late for those who died and a lesson too quickly forgotten by those who survived.  It is an awesome and frightening thing to be at the mercy of a power beyond your control, and to realise that.The 'problem' with the book is that it was written by a journalist who hasn't been there and done that.  He was not on K2 as a participator or eye-witness to the events he relates but that's not his fault. He leaves no stone unturned in his research to get the personal perspective of all those left alive to tell the tale. Perhaps the book suffers a little from the journalist's picture-painting of the back-story of the main characters, and they are those for whom there was no way down. Never-the-less this is a minor issue in a book which is a gripping read.I have never climbed a 26,000 foot peak let alone 28,000+ feet as K2 is.  I have no personal experience of the death zone. But I have been up a few Himalayan hills over 20,000 feet and in my amateurish way been awakened to the dangers of high remote places. I have had the warm water treatment for frost bitten fingers and this story sent shivers down my spine.  I've also stood in (breathless) awe on the glacier with the Northern face (Chinese side) of K2 towering over me.I don't know that any of those who lived to relate their much greater tale to the author of this book were truly humbled by the experience.  Perhaps the author didn't get that across very well or maybe that is the essence of climbing - human frailty can only be briefly acknowledged.Read it and make up your own mind.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great read
  

*by L***B on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 February 2020*

I am not a climber and will never really understand the passion which drives those to risk everything on a mountain  like K2.This is an excellent book which gives an insight into the mindset and bravery of the men and women who risk all.
