It’s hard to review a book about someone’s traumatic experience. The book was very well written technically and I like the interspersing of the history regarding man’s assault on Everest since the 1920s. The tragedy of the lost lives hits hard, but you’re reading a book about a horrible real-life disaster so you kind of know what you’re getting into I suppose. I think with this book it is important to remember that these are not characters. These a human beings and the ones who survived are out here in the world living their lives and the ones who died have people who are still feeling the pain of that loss. I think Krakauer did the best he could with this, knowing that no matter how he crafted it, some people would be upset.
