C.M P. (selkie) reviewed on 2/1/2007 + 418 more book reviews

At the time I had ordered this book, it had been sold out in all major stores & distributors. After having read it, I cannot understand why. Not only is it poorly written, but it told very little about the four against the Arctic.
Roberts also makes more of his own achievements while belittling those of others, such as the Andes survivors. He claims that he could have made the trek across the Andes in only two days, forgetting that hiking & climbing for recreation is entirely different from attempting to climb mountains with all the proper equipment, let alone without proper nourishment.
