IntoThinAir

Praise for Jon Krakauer’s INTO THIN AIR “A book that offers readers the emotional immediacy of a survivor’s testament as well as the precision, detail, and quest for accuracy of a great piece of journalism.… It is impossible to read this book unmoved.” —ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY “Brilliant, haunting.… This is an angry book, made even more so by the fact that hardly anyone seems to have learned a thing from the tragedy.” —SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER “Every bit as absorbing and unnerving as his bestseller, Into the Wild.” —THE NEW YORK TIMES “A searing book.” —OUTSIDE “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, and Krakauer makes one excellent decision after another about how to tell it. … 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 “Krakauer introduces the many players until they feel familiar, then leads the reader with them up the mountain and into the so-called ‘Death Zone’ above 25,000 feet.” ......
