Book Reviews of the Everest : Mountain Without Mercy
Customer Review: Beautiful Photography; Okay Writing
Summary: 3 Stars
Having recently read "High Exposure" by David Breashears, I had a feeling of deja vu all over again when I cracked open this tome. Seemed to me that pages were lifted from "Exposure" and copy-pasted into "Mountain".
The photography, however, is beautiful, and provides great visual insight not only to the mountain and the people who attempt to climb it, but also into the lives of the people who live in its shadow, literally or figuratively.
Unfortunately, the text could be denser.
My advice: Buy it used and enjoy the photography.
