This is the book that motivated me to go climb Mt Everest, I just never quite made it there
Great deal on a great book by a great author. Hope Krakauer has at least one more book in him.

This is a great book - I highly recommend. I personally found it more enjoyable than Into the Wild

Great book, probably the best one from everything Krakauer has written. Would recommend.

I especially like the audio version that he narrated, albeit abridged.

I agree, great book.
This book is the only one I ever read completely in one "sitting", i.e. w/o putting it down partway thru and continue reading at another time

Warning: If you read this book your friends will hate you for a couple of months while you can't talk about anything besides Mount Everest.

Great book... for anyone that is interested in this story, there are many versions of the same events and very interesting points of view (different but equally immersive). I recommend also reading: The Climb by Anatoli Boukreev, I also plan to read Beck Wither's accounts "Left for Dead" in addition to "A Day to Die for"... many accounts, many versions. Personally, I loved Into Thin Air but reading Anatoli's accounts, made both books more interesting. Those two books highlight real life conundrum in how different people remember things differently and have different motivations (or perhaps, ulterior motives).
