This was an interesting look into Mark's quest to find the body of Sandy Irvine who was lost on Everest in 1924.

I like that there is a history of stories throughout the book. Often the stories are harrowing. There are so many things that can happen to even a very experienced climber. I enjoyed learning about the many expeditions that people have undertaken to climb this mountain. It also reaffirms my stance on never wanting to do this myself. I am content to read or watch movies about others who do it.
