Author: Alan Hobson and Jamie Clarke
Genre: Self-inflated autobiographical-ish
Date Finished: March 14, 2007
Relates some of the details of the authors' participation in 2 teams that attempted to climb Everest in 1991 and 1994. By using an oversized font, as well as many side bars (in an even more oversized font) that repeated text from the book, a book long on pages and short on content was made.
In an effort to make the book relate to their business as professional speakers, it is written from a 'life lesson' perspective, with the authors attempting to dig kernels of wisdom out of the experiences related within.
Did the authors learn life lessons from their two failed attempts to climb Everest? I certainly hope so, since the two failed attempts cost 1.5 million in total.
I wonder how many Nepali children 1.5 million could educate?
