I saw the movie 127 Hours which I really enjoyed it, and the story was all over the news when it happened, so I ordered the book. The book is a little slow in places, but otherwise quite captivating. Obviously there is not a lot to say about how he spent the whole 127 hours that he was trapped – there was nothing to do or see. So Aron recounts a lot of stories of his adventures in Colorado climbing the mountains over 14,000 feet solo, and the more than one occasion he escaped death by avalanche and being chased by a bear. He really is a true adventurer and very experienced in climbing as well as trained in search and rescue and survival. How he ended up with his hand stuck under a massive boulder was pure bad luck. It is an amazing tale of hour he survived 127 hours mostly without water, and ultimately cut off his own hand to escape. I would recommend it to anyone that is interested in this amazing true story
