This is the story that the movie "127 Hours" is based on. Aron Ralston is an experienced hiker, rock climber and rescue team member that was trapped in a canyon in Utah for 5 days. His right arm was trapped between a rock that he had dislodged and the wall of the canyon and the only way he was able to escape was to cut off his right arm. The book does go into some detail about that but most of it is about Aron and what made him the person he is. It was a little slow at the beginning - it was mainly about some of his previous adventures but towards the middle was much better. I did enjoy reading this book and want to see the movie to see if they were able to do it justice.
