Reviews

[Krakauer] has produced a narrative that is both meticulously researched and deftly constructed.
This is a great book, among the best ever on mountaineering. Gracefully and efficiently written, carefully researched, and actually lived by its narrator.
Into Thin Air ranks among the great adventure books of all time.
A harrowing tale of the perils of high-altitude climbing, a story of bad luck and worse judgment and of heartbreaking heroism.
