The story was engaging and kept me hooked. I finished this in about a day, which goes against my principle of really milking audiobooks i pay for because they are pretty $$$, so thats how you know the story was really good! narration was also fabulous and i thought gave a lot of life to the characters

I loved this from beginning to end and I’m sad it’s over now. Also the narration was flawless!

Probably the most tedious book I have ever listened to. The author thought switching the names he addresses characters by every second page was a good choice? I disagree. Decide if you’re going with first name, last name, or nickname. After that, they aren’t interchangeable.

This could have been a podcast, not a 19 hour long book. I ended up eventually listening at 1.5x speed just to get through it quicker.
Two stars for the research that went into it.

I was skeptical when a friend recommended this book to me and I’m so glad I trusted her because it was fantastic. The story, the narration, all of it. Highly recommend!

Amazing narration for an amazing story. I took as long as I could with it because I didn’t want it to end. Highly recommend!

Story was thoroughly researched and, while still entertaining, teaches the listener about what happened to the Donner Party.
The narrator was good. His tone and pace suited the book.

Another tale I really enjoyed reading by Jon. Philip does a great job reading for him. Would recommend!

Probably one of the best performances and stories in my audiobook experience. Jon did an amazing job of capturing those weeks on Everest to make the reader/listener feel like they were there and Philip’s low, even voice captured the tone of writings.

The tale is sad and the cognitive dissonance of people regarding Everest since it’s publication is even sadder but you need to add this book to your list if you haven’t had the pleasure of experiencing it yet. 10/10 would recommend.

From the actual words to the narration this has easily become one of my favourites. I cried, I laughed, I learned waaaay more than I did after watching the movie. I would highly recommend this audio book.

I have never listened to such a predictable book in my life. I guessed pretty much every “twist” miles ahead and the main character is insufferable. I finished this book only to see if there was going to be some dramatic ending (there wasn’t IMO) and I’ll be returning it back to audible for something I’d actually consider listening to more than once. Would highly NOT recommend.
