Quote from Review:
''Into Thin Air'' is a step-by-step account of how a diverse group of people try to conquer a mountain whose majesty is utterly dwarfed by the hardship required to ascend it. ''The expedition . . . became an almost Calvinistic undertaking,'' Mr. Krakauer remarks, adding that he ''quickly came to understand that climbing Everest was primarily about enduring pain.'' Most people who publish mountaineering books are more skillful as adventurers than they are as writers; Mr. Krakauer is an exception</td>

<td>You are catapaulted straight into the hostile, aircraft-cruising altitude of 29,028 ft. Krakauer is ruthlessly honest with himself as he struggles to come to terms with his part in the 1996 Everest disaster. There is enough action to keep your knuckles white, and enough to give you pause for thought on how extreme circumstances bring out simultaneously the best and worst in humanity.
