splitdice 's review for:

Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster by Jon Krakauer

4.25

adventurous challenging dark sad fast-paced

---

i had to put this book down at some parts because it got way too intense and i had to process it. i cant believe doing something like this and surviving. 

i think krakauer does an excellent job of portraying this tragedy. that being said, dont come in here expecting a solid, 100% fact verified truth about what happened. i dont think anyone will ever know truly what happened up there

my only complaint is that i wish this was released maybe a year or two later, though i understand writing this book was critical to his processing of events
