Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Don't send doc fimmaker/surfers from LA to write books about mountain climbing in Urals of Russia in 1959! There are so many childish novice assumptions. The conclusion of this book will make you regret your emotional investment. In all my life I have never read a book where I disagreed so much with the authors conclusion. It is disgrace to the climbers and to common sense. Unfortunate sell out "need to make money" conclusion. He makes references to himself as following Sherlock Holmes deductive reasoning. Perhaps he should be reminded that Sherlock is a fictional character and learn some basic criminology instead--many cases, especially this cold are never solved. He could have made a very stark reminder of the fact that life is sometimes unexplained and that mysteries are mysteries that often go unsolved. But he created an absurd Hollywood ending probably for financial reasons and offers a totally disgraceful fictional account and then checks out of the book abruptly.
