Book Reviews of the High Crimes: The Fate of Everest in an Age of Greed
Customer Review: Definitely informative and insightful
Summary: 5 Stars
I enjoyed this book. It really gives the reader a detailed account of the many things that can go wrong on the mountain, and the importance of really researching your guides, if you want to climb Everest with one. I think that it is a must read for anyone thinking of climbing Everest, because the information about oxygen is crucial, since you probably won't make it to the top and back without it. I met Michael Kodas at a book signing and I think he is a man with great character and I do not believe that he is just bitter about not making it to the top and wanting to blame others. He is a journalist and he felt that this information needed to be out there and I couldn't agree more. Plus, it was a very entertaining read.
