Hunter Macy's review
Edmund Hillary is one of those figures that will live on in history: a great man, a great father, a great husband. He's had some very tragic things happen in his life, and exploring the edges of the earth showcased his true character. The title of the book "an extraordinary life" doesn't do it justice.
