Hell or High Water: Surviving Tibet's Tsango River (Vintage Departures) Peter Heller

The parts that were supposed to be the most exciting, about the actual kayaking, were the least interesting to me, because I am not familiar with the technicalities of w I had heard this was a book that was hard to put down, but I found it just so-so14)I love how he por Heller has once again convinced me that I love his writing, though it's taking me longer to get through this than I expected because I really don't care about competitive kayaking, and despite his treatment of the subject, I still don't carepainted a picture that put you in the middle of it.Don't waste your time with this oneSep 15, 2013 Dan rated it it was ok Shelves: adventure, paddling I normally enjoy non-fiction adventure story-telling, but this book was difficult to complete.The narrative seemed overly dominated by conflicts between the porters and expedition leaders and between the author and kayakersHomeABOUT USServicesOur TeamEventsGalleryContact Us About Google Books - Privacy Policy - TermsofService - Blog - Information for Publishers - Report an issue - Help - Sitemap - GoogleHome .I'd skip this one unless you know and care about kayaking

The kayaking expedition tackled extreme terrain and extreme water in the winterPerhaps Heller failed to realize that Into Thin Air was so successful because the expedition was a tragic failure resulting in several deathsI could not stand the author by the end of the bookflag Like see review I gave it 50 pages but just couldn't get into it and neither could the friend I lent it to after my failed attempt

when i was done with the book i went to youtube and watched video of the expedition.the book did a very good job describing it all flag Like see review Feb 26, 2008 Julie rated it it was amazing Peter Heller is amazing! He committed to an adventure that would be hellacious, near impossible, and quite uncomfortable, and then went on to NOT make the book about him! The true story is about the kayakers, the river, Tibet, and ChinaAt times, the descriptions seem incomplete, making immersion in the story difficultI recommend watching the documentary, Into the Tsangpo Gorge: The Epic First Descent of the Everest of Rivers, along with reading the book"Hell or High Water" is much more like solid reporting from the front lines of adventure than anything elseThe Tsangpo falls through one of the deepest gorges in the world and a fabled waterfall on its course gave rise the legend of Shangri-LaIt's the blood of our humanity ffa900202a
