Review title: Totally absorbing -- riveting!
Product review: Few books have ever captivated me the way "Into Thin Air" did. There's not much I can add to the praise of other reviewers except to say that reading it while flying to the Rockies (to ski, not climb) made it even more incredible. No doubt the runaway success of this book is largely to blame for the fact that my wife and I drove two hours to see the IMAX movie "Everest" at the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum, only to be told that it had sold out FOUR HOURS IN ADVANCE. And this from a movie that's been out as long as the book has. We chipped in and bought the video with our friends for the same collective price we would've paid to get into the IMAX version.Bottom line -- read the book! (Unless you're a mountain-climbing fanatic like a friend of mine, who got partway into the book and threw it down in disgust at the irresponsible decisions that were made by many of the doomed climbers of "Into Thin Air.")
