Kelly CordesCritiques

A bit repetitive, in both prose and photography. Certainly self indulgent. The writing is never fantastic, but is usually good. Since I read it in the mountains, myself, I was in the mood for every story. The mystery of the faked climb(s) is not much of a mystery, and the bigger psychological mystery (of the cost of sustaining a lie for so long) is never resolved. But Cordes tries, and some lack of resolution mostly makes the book more thought-provoking.
