This book is written by Bear Grylls, a famous adventurer, writer and TV presenter. This book is about Bear Grylls going on a remarkable journey to the summit of Mt. Everest. In this story, Bear Grylls (author) wrote about his life experiences in the special force and childhood. Before Bear Grylls decided to 'conquer' Mt. Everest, he spent three months in the hospital in Africa, due to a broken vertebrae, caused by an accident when landing with a parachute. Eight months after the accident, he quit the special force.
Bear Grylls then have the idea of 'conquering' Mt. Everest, since he has recovered gradually throughout the year. He and his friend, Neil Laughton then decided to aim for the Indian Army, to gain access to the Himalayan Mountains. The expedition leader was Neil Laughton, as Neil has a great amount of experience on Mt. Everest as he had once organized an expedition, but failed due to a huge number of deaths.
I recommend this book as the author, Bear Grylls, used techniques like imagery, to depict the where he went and so on.
