This is not my typical listen and it took me a little while to get into it but I found myself invested in the characters, especially Grace. I just kept listening to, and it just kept being good. =)

Even though I’ve heard the story before and seen documentaries about it, it’s still so hard to fathom what these climbers went through on this journey. It’s easy to question their decisions, motives, and soundness of mind from the sidelines so being in their shoes for a few hours was eye opening. Still a hard listen.

I realize that I’m in the minority here but I felt so much of this book could’ve been left out. Lots of droll explanations and a lot of time that, in my opinion, could’ve been better spent covering the 5000 missing years. In that third part, it was definitely hard to keep the characters and familial lines straight. While I typically love science fiction, this was not a favorite for me but better suited to actual aerospace engineers who would live all the geeky jargon and explanations.

This was so good! I was convinced I knew the twist because it was “SO obvious” but I was wrong! Which was a pleasant surprise! Loved it.

This was so good! It needs to be listened a little accelerated just on the regular but halfway through I sped it up even more because I just needed to know what happened!

Ending could’ve been a little better but otherwise no complaints. Great addition from the plus catalogue.

It was fairly easy to figure out the twist in this one. I’m not real sure who we’re suspecting in that final scene though…

The narration was good overall. However, There was suddenly a lot of whispering and quiet narration starting in chapter 33. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Not a fan of that.

This was my first Freida McFadden book and certainly won’t be my last. I already have several more in my library. Lots of twists and turns. Good job, Freida! Great narration!

I loved this Foote! The twist and turns kept coming. There are characters to, if not love, at least like and root for them. And there are characters that you just simply hate. And then there are characters that you’re not real sure how you feel about them until the very end. 10 out of 10 recommend.

The narration was incredible! Now this is how you “whisper” and still be heard. There was also “shouting” that didn’t hurt my ears. I don’t know if this is simply in the editing and mixing department, but it’s absolutely how it should be done.

Going full on prepper after listening to this! Making plans, making maps, hoarding supplies, lol

My only complaint was with the narration. I typically like Bronson Pinchot but the widely varying volume of the narration drove me crazy. As someone who listens through listening devices, at a normal volume the loud scenes were way too loud and hurt my ears, and anything that was whispered or “under their breath” was literally not decipherable. Super frustrating.
