The book is very clearly written by a reporter as he goes into great detail. At times, it can be difficult to keep up with how many different people he provides details on. But for adventure book fans, or climbers, you will enjoy. Also, more updated versions address some of controversy that happened post writing in 1996."

But once I got into it it was one of the most raw, alluring, and exciting books I’ve ever read. I keep marveling at how well written it was and how much I was enjoying learning about a topic I had no interest in before reading. I also loved the excerpts Krakauer put in before each chapter. I definitely saved some to re-read in my quotes folder. No complaints, this book is a literacy masterpiece. 29/30"
