Review title: Stretched to the point of breaking
Product review: Simply put, there was just not enough relevant material to warrant a book. In order to fill out his original magazine article to book length, Krakauer takes bird-walk after circuitous bird-walk with mind-numbing redundancy. How often does one need to emphasize "it was his last (fill in the blank)"? Beyond the first and final few chapters, the rest is irrelevant fluff that verges on deification of a pretty standard disillusioned youth searching to find himself. The story is interesting in a way that a car accident on the side of the road is, little more, but Krakauer treats the subject with such reverence that you would think him a latter day saint. Save time and read the Outside magazine article.
