I love survival stories and this one is an amazing true tale. 11 year old boy and his father are in a small plane that crashes high on a snow-covered mountain. The boy alone survives. This is the story of how his relationship with his free spirited, yet demanding father gave him the tools he needed to make it down the mountain. I was initially irritated by the alternating chapters (I just wanted to stay at the crash site), but as the book progressed I became more and more interested in the under...more

Obviously, if you read a memoir by a plane crash survivor there’s no suspense as to whether or not he survived but what Ollestad does so well is alternate short, concisely written chapters about key moments in his life leading up to this with the scenario he is faced with on the mountain. He really gets inside the mentality that was needed to believe that he could survive and how this was instilled in him, often in ways that he wasn’t so happy about at the time, by his dad who pushed him to exce...more

The chapters alternate between his time on the mountain after the plane crash and his life leading up to that point. Norman Ollestad recounts his unusual upbringing and how he had to rely on his earlier experiences and lessons taught by his dad in order to survive on the mountain.

I was astounded by the activities that Norman's father made him participate in at such a young age. He was surfing and downhill skiing at a very young age, and it wasn't just that he was participating in these activities, but that his father pushed him to try things that were challenging to the point of being dangerous. In the first few pages of the book there is a photo of Norman strapped to the back of his dad while his dad was surfing - he was only one year old.

In one of my favorite sections, he recounts a road trip he took with his dad to Mexico. They have so many dangerous and exciting adventures on this trip that it made for great reading. (There were Federales with guns, a car chase and an idyllic time spent with some native Mexicans, just to give you a little preview.)

At times it was hard to put this book down. I was always wondering what was going to happen next. What crazy adventure was Norman's dad going to take them on next? Or what about his mom's boyfriend? Was he going to stay nice or start drinking again? And then of course there's the breathtaking story of how Norman got down the mountain.

I had read someone else's review of this book a while back and so I knew that there was a video on YouTube that showed footage from the news when Norman spoke to the media after he got off of the mountain. I made a point of not watching the video before I read the book because I didn't want to see any spoilers, but I can honestly say that I wish I would have watched it first because it really brings home just how young Norman was during the time period the book covers. I was shocked by how young and small he was because he had already had so many adventures and done so many crazy and dangerous things with his dad, and then survived the descent from the mountain. Because of his achievements and bravery on the mountain I had been picturing someone older in my head (even though his age was given in the book).

There were a lot of descriptions of surfing and skiing in the book that used the technical terminology of each sport. I did not understand many of them, but it didn't take away from my overall enjoyment of the book.

If you like reading memoirs about survival situations then I'm sure you will love Crazy For the Storm.(less)

In this well-written account, Norman Ollestad tells the compelling tale of his own survival of a small plane crash high in the San Gabriel Mountains of California. As an 11-year-old boy, he was the lone survivor of the crash, and had to make his way down the steep face of the mountain alone in order to escape the deadly cold. Interwoven with this narrative is the larger tale of his relationship with his dad.

The crash killed the pilot and Norman's father instantly. His father's girlfriend, Sandra, survived but later died in an attempt to find help.

I started, and finished, this book on a cross-country plane flight. Even if I hadn't been in a confined space with limited entertainment, I would have had trouble putting this book down. This autobiographical account of a plane crash is captivating and I'm amazed at how the author handled the situation even though he was only 11 years old.

The author's childhood seems very reckless to me, but as the author wrote, "Those were different times. My dad made me do lots of things ...more

Surprisingly worthwhile, and clearly not for everyone, this book grew on me, warts and all. First and foremost, an epic survivor's tale, it details a tragic father-son relationship in an other-wordly surfing culture (which I simply cannot relate to) with forays into skiing and travel (with which I'm far more familiar, but which bear no resemblance to any of my (far more mundane) experiences). The remarkable (and seemingly squandered) talent of both father and son pervade the yarn. I picked th...more

Only three stars but still worth reading...Crazy for the Storm is an unforgettable true story (see YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqLnh1biS...) but the writing has some serious flaws: The juxtaposition of the narration, shifting back and forth from chapter to chapter (Ollestad shifts between the events on the mountain and earlier events of his young life) and the use of too many irrelevant and descriptive details, adjectives and analogies.

Eleven year old Norman survives the plane crash that kills his father, his father's girlfriend, and the pilot. Chapters about the crash are juxtaposed with those about Norman's childhood, especially his relationship with his father.

Mr. Ollestad had more than enough information regarding his lone descent down the mountain after a plane crash and his subsequent rescue to make the book quite enjoyable. However, adding all the filler information in every other chapter took away from the drama of the real story.

Ollestad credits that upbringing with saving his life when, as the sole survivor of a small plane crash, he climbed off a mountain engulfed in a blizzard. He was 11 years old.

The February 1979 crash claimed the lives of his father, also named Norman, his father's girlfriend and the pilot. Norman's father chartered the plane ride to get his son back for a football team celebration after the boy had just competed successfully in a skiing competition. When the weather took a turn for the worse, the plane slammed into a mountain. Facing an enormous obstacle while trying to cope with the reality that his larger than life father was not going to make it out of this one makes for a harrowing tale of survival.

Interwoven with the tale of his climb down the mountain are stories of Norman's childhood on a California beach. Seems idyllic, but there was enough drama and trauma. After his parents split, young Norman's mother takes up with a man who slaps them both around. Nick is one of those men who demand perfection. But an athletically gifted boy whose father already doesn't settle for second best is not about to take advice from a boyfriend, especially one who drinks. When his mother ends up with a black eye after one encounter, Norman is sent with his father to Mexico.

It's a trip he didn't want to take. His father is hauling heavy appliances to his own parents who are living down the Mexican coast. He was going to take his girlfriend, but decided to take Norman instead when the shiner appeared. The two survive one of those epic trips that includes greedy "soldiers" demanding payment, the truck stuck in the mud after heavy rains and a little bit of paradise in a coastal village filled with innocents.

Norman's father demands the same full-out physical effort from his son in Mexico that he does for skiing and surfing. Ollestad was the kind of man who can hardly wait to go skiing when the car is buried in a foot of new powder, regardless of what anyone else thinks is prudent. The descriptions of the extreme thrill-seeking adventures that the elder Ollestad constantly sought build a portrait of him that leads to the question of whether he wasn't just as abusive of young Norman in his way as Nick the boyfriend was. Both, after all, were trying to toughen the boy up. Once, when the son questions the father about whether a run is too deep with snow, his father tells him that it's never too deep.

The ambivalence in asking this question is set aside when it comes to crediting the father with making the son tough enough and canny enough to figure out a way down the mountain on his own. But it returns at the end when young Norman takes his own young son skiing decades later. How far does a loving father push a son? Ollestad gives his answer by way of describing how he treats his own son. After all, when your father makes you ski down a sheer ice face three times after a ski team workout, just so you know how to handle it, it's not every son who would wholeheartedly hero worship his father afterward. But when the son also knows that it's because of those extra runs that he had what it took to live, there's certainly no condemnation of his father, either.

Or, to paraphrase the author, he sometimes hated his father's charisma because the man was so overwhelming. But he still wanted to be like him.

The way the various time periods are woven together is done skillfully to make CRAZY FOR THE STORM far more complex and satisfying than a chronological account would have been. The technical descriptions of Ollestad's climb down may lose those who don't know mountaineering or skiing, but stay with it. The overall tale is worth it.

On the jacket cover it says, "May dads give it to their sons, may sons give it to their dads, and may all the mothers and daughters out there weep for the men they have known."

Well, pahleeeese. I hadn't read the jacket cover before reading the book, and that's good, because my deflated feeling would have only be accentuated.

I tried to keep an open mind as I read. I developed sympathy, at first, for the author and the kind of life in which he was raised. I fancied myself skiing the slopes along with his dad (which says something of the good quality writing, as I've only skiied once and was terrible), and I even tried to visualize and appreciate the surfing extraodinaires and the great waves they rode. I tried to like the book.

Overall, I ended up, like I said, deflated. The account of his being in a plane crash with his dad and the dad's girlfriend--that is what caught my eye. The kid was 11 and the only survivor--on a freezing mountain peak.

Well, as it ends up, he was able to get down the mountain and be rescued in 9 hours. Maybe the jacket-cover designers should have put in that little bit of info. so the readers aren't expecting some horrific account of surviving in the wilderness for weeks or something.

The layout of the book was catchy. He wrote about three pages in a chapter, it seemed, and would rotate between a chapter on the mountain peak and a chapter from his youth/relationship with his dad. The organization kept me reading, because I was really in it for the mountain-peak rescue.

The chapters about his dad were well-written, but I was just so let down by the lifestyle represented. His dad was a really cool guy, but I was saddened to get the glimpse of a life that so many families lead. So broken. It's a wonder people turn out so well. Is society really falling apart that drastically, I wonder? I'm I really in such a bubble?

I guess that was a saving grace of the book, that it brought me out of my bubble (to which I retreated as quicly as I could, relieved that my outlook on life isn't as bleak), and the writing was good. His dad was amazing, too.

I wish he had more than good slopes and surfing to look forward to.(less)

I didn't even read your "A Million Little Pieces" and its lies and half-truths are still casting shadows of doubt over the other memoirs I read.) In this case, my doubts stem less from riveting story itself and more from just wondering how an adult can remember events and interpersonal exchanges (that took place when he was a kid) so vividly.
That said, it truly is a GRIPPING story--and not just during the defining event, a plane crash the author survived at age 11. The writing itself is a feat: combining the emotions and actions of a young boy who has seen too much to fully process (again, not just the crash) with the lovely prose of a seasoned writer. It's complete with beautiful imagery, apt metaphors, and detailed descriptions intended to put the reader right there with him, be it the late 1970's Topanga Canyon/Beach scene where he grew up, or the treacherous snow-covered mountain into which the plane crashed.
Author Norman Ollestad introduces readers to his father, a larger-than-life guy if ever there was one. He is charismatic, energetic, and has led a pretty astonishing life. His love for Norman runs very deep, but is often manifested through pushing Norman to excel & take on challenging/dangerous conditions in skiing, surfing, etc. The author maintains that his dad in essence became the voice in his head, and that it in fact contributed (or outright led) to his survival. Yet as much as he clearly puts his father on a pedestal, he is able to humanize him, something he also does with his mother and her boyfriend to varying degrees: acknowleging what they have done for him and how they have cared for him, while exposing their shortcomings in a way that is somehow restrained from self-pity.
Readers will likely become quite engaged with the author and his story. I expect this book to stick with me longer than most. You can't help but root for Norman, both the boy struggling to make it to safety following the crash, as well as the man, now father to a son, as he endeavors to honor his young son's feelings and his father's legacy at the same time...(less)
