This was a terrific journalistic account of the 1972 plane crash in the Andes and those who survived ten weeks on the mountain. Although the events were harrowing, the story was presented in a matter-of-fact way that did not dwell on grisly details. This writing style seemed to echo many of the survivors’ attitudes, as they immediately assessed their situation after the crash and began taking steps to survive and find rescue, never giving up hope.

from a craft perspective this was not the best book and i would probably only give that section 3 stars for the technical aspects

but my god…from a content perspective, 6/5 stars. what a tale.

A truly (true!) incredible story that kept me gripped from beginning to end, and yet always felt perseverant and hopeful. This is one of those books you'll read and tell everyone about for weeks after.

I already knew this was a remarkable story, but it was so wonderful to find it so extremely well written.
