Unlikethe expedition, his story rushes irresistibly forward. But perhaps Mr. Krakauer's greatestachievement is his evocation of the deadly storm, his ability to re-create its effects with a lucid andterrifying intimacy.' â€”Alastair Scott, The New York Times Book Review'This is a great book,among the best ever on mountaineering.Â Â Gracefully and efficiently written, carefullyresearched, and actually lived by its narrator, it shares a similar theme with another sort of book, anovel called 'The Great Gatsby.' â€”The Washington PostÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â ÂÂ Â Â Â Â 'Into Thin Air ranks among the great adventure books of all time.' â€”The Wall StreetJournalÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â ÂÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 'Krakauer is anextremely gifted storyteller as well as a relentlessly honest and even-handed journalist, the story isriveting and wonderfully complex in its own right, and Krakauer makes one excellent decision afteranother about how to tell it....

Krakauer's reporting is steady but ferocious.Â Â The clink ofice in a glass, a poem of winter snow, will never sound the same.' â€”MirabellaÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â ÂÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 'Into Thin Air is a remarkable work of reportage and selfexamination....And no book on the 1996 disaster is likely to consider so honestly the mistakes thatkilled his colleagues.' â€”NewsdayÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â ÂÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 'A harrowing tale of the perils of high-altitude climbing, a story of bad luckand worse judgment and of heartbreaking heroism.' â€”People'In this movingly written book,Krakauer describes an experience of such bone-chilling horror as to persuade even the mostfanatical alpinists to seek sanctuary at sea level.' â€”Sports Illustrated A bank of clouds wasassembling on the not-so-distant horizon, but journalist-mountaineer Jon Krakauer, standing onthe summit of Mt.
