Summary: Gripping and chilling
Review: I cannot recall any book that was as difficult to put down as "Into Thin Air". Krakauer combines an insider's knowledge of mountaineering with a journalist's detachment from the "big money" of professional tour-guide style climbing. The early portions of the book are filled with a sense of grim foreboding, and yet I was still shocked and heartbroken at the fates of the various climbers. However you read it--as a classic tale of hubris, as a revealing story of personal relationships under pressure, or simply as a well-written adventure--this is a first-rate story.

Summary: the story was riveting, and very upsetting.
Review: I felt that the story was very sad, and a fine example of how high altitudes can affect one's judgement, even if that person happens to be a paid guide. Mr. Krakauer was very adept at painting the picture and creating the scenario in a very well-paced manner. At times, while reading the book, I was left breathless and found myself shivering while reading. Just laying in bed bundled up I tried to imagine what sleeping in a bivouac above 24,000 feet must be like. I hope that's as close as I ever get.

Summary: a terrific read. riveting suspense and human drama.
Review: WHEN A FRIEND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED I READ THIS BOOK, I DEBATED WHETHER TO HUMOR HIM OR NOT. AS SOMEONE WHO HAS NEVER HAD ANY INTEREST IN MOUNTAINEERING, I WAS SKEPTICAL THAT I WOULD FIND IT OF MUCH INTEREST. BOY WAS I WRONG. IT IS BEYOND A DOUBT ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I HAVE EVER READ-AND I HAVE READ MANY. KRAKAUER'S HARROWING ACCOUNT STAYS WITH YOU LONG AFTER YOU HAVE FINISHED READING . THE EVENTS OF THE FINAL TWO DAYS OF THE ASCENT ARE UNFORGETABLE. I SIMPLY COULD NOT PUT THE BOOK DOWN.
