The other boy named Mark is Randy's cousin and he also has some family problems, but not as heavy as Randy. What they did not know was that they were going to have to work for their survival and do everything that their dads had taught them. This book was probably one of the best books I have read about survival and how close you can get with somebody when they are the only friend that you have in a bad situation out there. The problem is that they really don't get along with their dads very well. In the start of the book, a boy named Randy who has the most problems with his family life is really messed up and he also has diabetes.
I would recommend this book to anybody who is looking for an adventure and likes reading exciting books that sometimes gives them cold chills down their spines. Between a Rock and a Hard Place is about 2 boys who go to a resort up in the mountains with their dads. One day the boys decide that they are going to go on their own little trip and let their dads go fishing by themselves. When they finally get going on their trip, the boys have to use all that their dads had told them, but it always doesn't work.
Not in my book, can I get my money back. I guess this guy has some kahones but at times I felt like I was reading about a foolish person doing foolish things. think this guy is the sharpest tack in the box. I don't take financial advice from poor people or take marital advice from divorced peolpe. Is that to be admired.
It is high adventure with the added realization of what the human body and mind can endure.Superb.Irene I found it spellbinding, almost surreal in it's content, and Ralston's writing ability to put me in his shoes from the first page to the last. I received this book from Amazon in a very timely fashion and couldn't wait to get my hands on it. Ralston's book was recommended by a member of my book club. I literally couldn't put it down and felt a great sense of loss when I'd finished it.I highly recommend this autobiography to friends and family.
I recommend Aron's book to anyone who feels like they need more adventure in their life, or anyone who has a love of steep terrains and deep canyons. I think he is a natural narrator and gifted writer. I love the honest, well written description of this miraculous self-rescue. His battle of wits with a black bear was one of my favorite parts.
It is the life he chose, and loved. Was he smart to go into such climbs without a partner. I look up to him in his ambition and his strength. I am a mountaineerer myself, and I loved getting into this book. This is a great book that is hard to put down. NO.
I honor his not being ashamed of the moments when he lost composure in the canyon. This is a great book. I loved the style that it was written giving insight into his stories of how he got to where he was, and all the experiences that led up to his entrapment. He knew the risks.
