review 1: An informative narrative, giving the facts as far as they can be elicited, and detailing several theories again with known facts which lead the reader to draw their own conclusions as to which of those theories you feel could be possibilities. A chapter is given to a more fanciful theory which you can skip through, as I did, as I don't believe there was a paranormal or UFO link to the tragic end of this seemingly high spirited and good natured trek. What do I think? After reading the book there are certainly a couple of military/spy based theories which could fit the facts presented. Or did they have an horrific fight amongst themselves? We will never know. An awful end of life for the innocent.
review 2: If you are drawn to real life mysteries then this one ha
... mores more than enough ingredients in it to keep you wondering long after the book is done. Better than any fiction but infinitely worse because it really happened, the explanation for the fates of the students who died in the "Dyatlov Pass Incident" seems unlikely to be resolved anytime soon and in all likelihood may never be. The extra -ordinary theories postulated almost all have serious evidence in their favour and perhaps some day some time further evidence will emerge. Keith McCloskey has brought together the complex facts and theories in a very intelligent and readable way and it is right and fitting that he ends with signposting interested readers to the memorials of 9 brave men and women. less
