Summary: To sleep or not to sleep
Review: The book Into Thin Air was a very slow book. You really couldn't get into it until after about chapter twelve. The author gave you a lot of facts about the mountain and the expedition but he said so much that sometimes you became confused. After you get through that though the book becomes very exciting and interesting and you start to like it. I liked the facts very much and it taught me a lot but in ways it is somewhat sloppy. The ending has to be one of the most dramatic endings I have ever read though; it's surprising and sad. The ending makes it worth the read so I would recommend the book if you have the patience.

Summary: Into Thin Air
Review: I liked that this was a true story, and that Jon Krakauer was there to experience it, and lived to write about it. His story of the expedition with guide, Rob Hall, was unreal! For twelve fairly experienced climbers to die on a mountain in one day shows how strong nature is. I only gave it three stars because Krakauer jumped around between his own expedition with Adventure Consultants to past expeditions, and history from earlier years. He mentions so many people that I had to keep referring to the front of the book to keep names straight. So I think it should have been broken into two stories, one as Krakauers personal account of Everest, and the other as Mt. Everest's history with past climbers. But if you like history, then you would enjoy reading about all of the climbers and their experiences on the mountain, as well as Krakauer's deadly climb.

Summary: Diaster On Top Of The World
Review: I gave the book three stars. Because it took so long to get into, you would almost give up on reading it, because he tells you so much about the history of the mountain and past expeditions. After about the first 200 pages things really start to heat up. It isn't until the end of the book where the best part is. If you can indure all the information and stories to get to the heart of the book, then I would recommend it.

Summary: Too much character usage, Great Description of Ascent
Review: Into Thin Air is a good book, yet if you don't have a character list next to you while reading this book you can easily become confused like I did. Mr. Krakauer will go on a tirade of character usage and will completely lose the reader's interest because the reader doesn't know who he is talking about. When Jon Krakauer talk's about his personal expedition to the top of Everest, he does such a good job describing the climate and surroundings that it feels like you are there yourself, climbing Everest. At these point's in the book the detail is so great that it is really inticing and interesting, it locks the reader in.

Summary: An Interesting And Sad Read
Review: Into Thin Air is both interesting and sad. I learned a great deal about the world of mountain climbing . The story of this event is a tragedy. I was troubled by the actions of some of the expeditions. I would recommend this book.

Summary: Fiction told to be fact.
Review: It's not a bad book if you don't mind being lied to. If you wish to read the truth about what happened on May 10, 1996 read "The Climb".

Summary: too much info!!!
Review: The modern day adventure is not what it used to be. The life threatening ordeal is much more interesting now in this day and age. Jon Krakauer was in one of the most dangerous of all, trapped in a storm on the highest point of the earth while running out of oxygen, and he found a way to destroy the suspence and fear factor by continously adding more and more facts to the book. By the time you finish it your head almost explodes with information. It was a good book but had too much information about what, at least I, didnt want to know.

Summary: Into Thin Air Review
Review: This book is a very good book. It's a little slow in the beginning but about 5 chapters in it really gets going. By the end of the book your left breathless. Every slip every step your waiting in suspense to know whats going to happen next. It's astonishing on how close you feel to the people then next thing you know...well you'll just have to read to find out. I recommend this book to anyone. Sincerely,
Me and myself

Summary: Too much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I have never read a book quite like this one before! Every chapter was a different time in the past that he would compare his journey to. It was all very confusing when the date and place would change every time like that. To me it was very dull, because about the same information was presented in every chapter. Though, there was a lot of information that was very interesting to know.
