"Dark Shadows Falling" is Joe Simpson's commentary on the state of neglect, or irreverence, of the world's mountains. While parts are compelling, and the issues addressed are valid, Simpson loses his way at times and devolves into rants that get tiring after a while.
Nonetheless, it is a quick read, and is worth a quick read for those looking for a climber's view on the dark side of mountaineering.
