Into Thin Air Review (extra credit)

As you know Mr.Hopper has been encouraging us to read Into Thin Air by John Krakauer. I had previously read the book and decided to reread it due to the extra credit option. The story is told from first person as Krakauer delivers an excellently told account of the horrific 1996 climbing season, the second deadliest to date. He details the South African Scandal.
