Krakauer, with his experience of extreme adventures and good understanding of psychology, has done an excellent work of investigation.

from Anchor
Price: $7.99
Customer Review:
Readers seem to be rating this book higher as it ages. Informative and humorous, it keeps your attention every minute. Some of the commentary on forest conservation, etc. is discouraging....Let's hope that situation has improved since the book was written, but that's doubtful, given the... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I was on lunch break at a previous job and reading Walden Pond by Henry David Thoreau for the second time in my life. My co-worker comes up to me and said, "is that a good book, I've never read it?". I told him it was a book I could relate to, because I too like being outside and surrounded by... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I read this book (age 57) when my daughter(age 20) was training to climb Aconcagua and I was petrified. She is a good athlete but had never climbed mountains. A friend recommended it to me. As much as I love the rest of the book, what was most poignant to me was the part about how survivors have a... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

An amazing almost unbelievable story of arrest, mock trial, imprisonment in Siberia, escape and a trek to freedom covering thousands of miles.
