  Between a Rock and a Hard Place is the story of Aron Ralston, a mountain climber who gets his arm stuck under a boulder and is trapped there for 5 days with no one knowing where he is. He is hiking on a simple course for him and a large 400 pound boulder falls on his arm and pins it against a wall. For 127 hours he is trapped with just two burritos, a few liters of water, and isn’t able to sleep due to the fact he isn’t able to sit. Aron eventually runs out of water and has to try and drink his bottled urine. He reminisces in memories of past climbs while chopping at the boulder with a knife with little effect. Overall, I’d give Between a Rock and a Hard Place a 3.5/10. It isn’t anything that I’d recommend if you are looking for something exciting. It isn’t even something I could sit through again. It can get very dull and dry. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good documentary of what happened, but you can pretty much just skip the 200 pages of useless material.

  Between a Rock and a Hard Place is a story of the most extreme survival that highlights the determination and will of human beings to survive. In my opinion this story has many positive and negative aspects. The way this story is written includes one or two miniature “adventures” between each chapter of the main story. This gives the story an interesting twist, but I often find myself wondering if I am still reading the main story or another of his adventures. Even though they are, in my opinion, very interesting and add to the book, I feel that their placement throughout the story could be better. Since each mini-adventure is only several pages long, the majority of the book focuses on his survival while his arm is trapped between a rock and a granite wall. The story seems fairly interesting, and holds my attention rather well in the beginning, but, seeing that it’s a 354 page book, after those first couple chapters it becomes boring very quickly. Each day seemed the same to...

  My husband loves it and is glad I found this book. Him and my son in law get into sports discussions and they look it up in this book. Other sites were more expensive and I received the book on time with no problems. So as time goes by and we settle down from this Christmas rush I will continue to look at what you offer on-line. I may not order right away but if there is something I like I will order it.

  As a neophyte fly fisherman I found that the book contained great tips for fly fishing in California. The fly fisherman/woman able to travel around the State would greatly benefit from the information in a well organized manner.
