Reviews

[Krakauer] has produced a narrative that is both meticulously researched and deftly constructed.
*New York Times Book Review*

This is a great book, among the best ever on mountaineering. Gracefully and efficiently written, carefully researched, and actually lived by its narrator.
*Washington Post*

Into Thin Air ranks among the great adventure books of all time.
*Wall Street Journal*

A harrowing tale of the perils of high-altitude climbing, a story of bad luck and worse judgment and of heartbreaking heroism.
*People*

Krakauer is an extremely gifted storyteller as well as a relentlessly honest and even-handed journalist, the story is riveting and wonderfully complex in its own right . . .To call the book an adventure saga seems not to recognize that it is also a deeply thoughtful and finely wrought philosophical examination of the self.
*Elle*
