I would say read both of them. Anatoli Boukreev (he died on Annapurna the next year) was apparently a bit of a blow hard as well and the truth is likely somewhere in the middle between both accounts. Lincoln Hall (he also recently died) also wrote a book about the expedition, but I haven't read it.
