Though this is a nonfiction book it is written like a fiction adventure book. It is really interesting, but at the end kind of sad. I highly recommend it. There is lots of cursing in this book and some descriptions that are gory, but I think anyone in our class can read it and should.

Jon Krakauer dreamed of climbing Everest as a child. This book is a non- fiction personal account of the Mount Everest disaster. The Mount Everest disaster happened on May 10, 1996. Four different expeditions were trying to reach the top, when a powerful storm came up suddenly All the climbers were trapped in a precarious position. Even strong and experienced climbers such as the guides Hall and Fischer could only struggle short distances down the peak.
