The international bestseller Between a Rock and a Hard Place is now a major motion picture starring James Franco.

Hiking into the remote Utah canyonlands, Aron Ralston felt perfectly at home in the beauty of the natural world. Then, at 2:41 P.M., eight miles from his truck, in a deep and narrow slot canyon, an eight-hundred-pound boulder tumbled loose, pinning Aron's right hand and wrist against the canyon wall. Through six days of hell, with scant water, food, or warm clothing, and the terrible knowledge that no one knew where he was, Aron eliminated his escape option one by one. Then a moment of stark clarity helped him to solve the riddle of the boulder--and commit one of the most extreme and desperate acts imaginable.

Ever since the pandemic started I've been listening to survival stories. They make me feel so much better about my life and give me perspective. I wasn't expecting to enjoy this book so much as I'm kind of averse to gore but it was really well done.

Pros: Incredible story, well told in chronological order, I even got a bit choked up towards the end which I was not expecting at all.

Cons: Because there's not a whole lot to tell there's a lot of filler stories of his childhood which I skipped through. The story is already only 5 hours and I'd say about an hour of that is filled with extras.

In conclusion I'd highly recommend the book. It's also better than the movie.

Fantastic Survival Story

If you could sum up 127 Hours: Between a Rock and a Hard Place (Movie Tie- In) in three words, what would they be?

I saw the film and heard some snippets of Ralston's interviews online. This made me wonder why he said he wouldn't avoid this accident if he were to do it over again. This book helped to explain what the experience has done to enrich the author's life. Although the book would do a service to readers by adding some advice on avoiding similar incidents, it's a great story from a standpoint of overcoming adversity, facing fears, "growing" spiritually/intellectually, etc. The book does not, however, provide much advice in terms of "lessons learned." I enjoyed that it was ready by Aron Ralston himself. I always like audio books that are read by their own authors; you can be pretty sure that all the voice inflections are correct interpretations of the author's tone.

This book had me on the edge of my seat. I couldn’t believe what this poor guy went through. It’s amazing. I’m so glad that he’s all right, but his story is very adventurous and gut wrenching. You just don’t know what’s gonna happen. I also enjoyed the film. It’s a very good movie.

I really enjoyed how the author took you through what was going on in his head. The movie couldn’t do that. There’s so much the movie couldn’t show you. I feel like watching the movie was incomplete after hearing this audiobook of this insane amazing experience . Aron is truly an incredible person. His experience has touched my life along with so many others. I just got done talking to my fiancé about doing a 14.er! That was something I never thought I would do, but after hearing everything he’s accomplished after what he went through and before it really fills me with a spirit of adventure.

What a great addition to the movie
