Into Thin Air
Review:
Why?!?! I don’t understand how anyone would think it was a good idea to climb Everest. Throughout the entire book, we got to know the people going on the exposition and by the end of it, 12 people were dead. We heard about a woman who is a single mother of four who died on the peaks. It’s an obsession and a deadly one. The descriptions were so vivid and horrifying that I actually had to stop reading for a while. I found the people really unreliable and I could not understand why they did what they did. It was really hard to read but was well written. I didn’t like it because of the fact that this is real life and all those people died. I also found the images disturbing and so sad. I don’t want to picture the people that died. This was a well-written story but so dark.
