this book had me hooked from page one to the very last sentence. jon krakauer has shown that he is a wonderful, perceptive writer that can tell a very well researched story. I love how he combines history and character development into a very personal memoir.
after watching "Into the Wild" last year, ran across this @ WalMart and couldn't resist. great storyteller Krakauer is, painted a picture spooky enough to keep me from climbing in the future!
