Title: Exciting Drama in the "Into Thin Air" Mode
Review: I read this book almost immediately after "Into Thin Air" and was immediately taken by the similarities. Again, I found myself asking why anyone would risk such a potentially hideous death. Of course, there is a huge difference between rough hewn fisherman trying to eek out a living and the bored noveau rich out looking for a thrill. Junger builds the suspense very well and his first hand description of drowning is absolutely riveting. As with Krakauer's book, this is great non-fiction that reads like an adventure story.
