Thorough, well-researched account. Very compiling reading. Discussed the events technically correct but easily understood by non-climbers. The loss of life was addressed with respect and dignity, and the sensitivity to family members was clear. Saying I "enjoyed" this is a wrong term because of the tragedy involved, but it is a page-turner, very well-written, and satisfying reading.

OK but better books are out there. A decent account of the events on K2 but better books on the subject are out there. Ed Vestures book on this same subject is a better read. Additionally, Vestures book goes into the history of climbing K2 where this book only briefly mentions it. If you have not read Vestures' account of the events on K2, you will find this book enjoyable. If you have read Vestures' book, you can pass on this one

No Way Down. I couldn't stop turning the pages! What a great book describing the tragedy and history of K2. This book brought back the same thoughts and questions I had after completing "Into Thin Air." What a sad tragedy, I feel bad for their family left behind, and why do people venture into the death zone? Again, it shows that people will always venture to be at the top of the world. However, hopefully these new adventurers will learn from these stories and know when to turn back in order to avoid creating a new tragedy in the future.

Jungers into thin air. One of the reviewers is an idiot. Jon Krakauer wrote into thin air. Now by far krakauer is a better writer. But this book is a good look at mountaineering tragedy.

Very tough to read. Poorly written, tough to follow.

Mildly entertaining. But just not well written. The difference between this and Junger's Into Thin Air is extraordinary. One is a passable account of a specific event. The other is a riveting account in the hands of a master story teller. I prefer well written narratives, myself. Also, the writer never really seems to connect with his subject. It appears he was thrust into the topic without much forethought and thus doesn't ever warm to the task. I felt like I had to root for the characters harder than usual cause the writer wasn't all that interested in them. Pity.
