I think his co-author, Daivd Lagercrantz, should have done more to steer the narrative towards Kropp's grand adventure rather than helping him to vent his feelings about the other climbers on Everest. There's no need for all the controversy---Kropp's story sells itself! It shouldn't have been difficult for his co-author to make Kropp look awesome, rather than petty.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17963449947498730768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-733054303400169422.post-39427765326230059442012-02-05T02:16:16.709-08:002012-02-05T02:16:16.709-08:00the difference between Goran Kropp and the `stars`...the difference between Goran Kropp and the `stars` he speaks of, is.. he has put the effort in !!<br /><br />i think you`ve missed so much positive out of this blog post.<br /><br /><br />Not to mention the clean up operation of mount Everest he completed a year later !! , inspiringAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-733054303400169422.post-50431260968792471672012-02-05T01:14:45.967-08:002012-02-05T01:14:45.967-08:00I dont agree !!.. a great book .. and a great man ...I dont agree !!.. a great book .. and a great man !!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
