"Alive" is one of the most fascinating books I've ever read.
It's amazing that *anyone* ended up surviving.
They were on the mountain so long that rescue planes simply gave up searching.
The survivors finally realized that nobody would EVER come, and made one last ditch effort to hike to freedom.
You read this heart-wrenching story of three volunteers struggling to get to the top of their mountain, and look all around and realizing that their mountain was but ONE mountain in a sea of hundreds of other mountains.
A real page turner!

Have seen the movie yet have not yet read the Alive book.
Hopefully there was *some* sort of good luck for a handful of passengers and crew. :-(

I must have read Alive by Piers Paul Reid 10 times. An awesome story of survival.

Is this the one where they ate the dead?
It gives “rump roast” a whole new meaning
