Into Thin Air is John Krakauer's grizzly account of the loss of twelve persons attempting to climb Mount Everest. Krakauer himself was a member of one of the parties making the effort to reach the peak of Everest. His account reads like a novel and it is hard to put down. The most fascinating feature of this story is trying to decipher what drives people to attempt the adventure of climbing the highest peak in the world. People pay exorbitant amounts of money to be led by veteran guides and teams of leaders who have led many people up the mount. Many have succeeded with good guidance.
