I've never looked at this book, which is one of my personal favorites, as a mountaineering book. Into Thin Air is a book about what people do when they're cold and tired. It's a great read, a must read if you ever consider climbing anything high.

Excellent story by an excellent writer. Good info on what NOT to do also! I read this book alone, in the dark with only a headlamp and the effect was really cool!

a great book, not only because of the adventure it tells of, but also because Krakauer is such a great author. i have all of his books, they're great!

Good read that documents the 1996 Everest disaster. Surprisingly unemotional. One of the better mountaineering books, despite it's grim subject matter.

Amazing. thats the best way to describe this book. i always end up reading it during the summer. just a harrowing tale. it chills you to your very core. krakauer is an amazing author and he should have won a pulitzer for this. great details and smooth flowing story. its just impossible to put down. his other books are just as equally amazing (try Eiger Dreams) but i would definatley recomend this book to anyone who has any intrest in mountaineering
