Besides the quotes, the biggest issue I had was the book’s organization/structure — Krakauer bounced around as if he didn’t have an editor. Maybe he didn’t have an editor! I think there was definitely a way to rearrange the book structure to make it 10x more enjoyable and clearer for readers. I feel like I can say this because I wrote a big ole thesis on a specific American far-right/religious movement which was… CLEAR AND ENJOYABLE TO READ.
Ultimately, Krakauer took what could have been a really intriguing topic and drained the life out of it (maybe that’s a bad descriptor for this book) which was disappointing as a reader. But I still finished it for whatever reason.
