Query: Captivating

I read this book when it was first published, and more recently when it was a required selection for my 7th grader. The timing of the second reading coincided with the deadly climbing season of 2012. Interestingly, many of the recent deaths were eerily similar to the events that unfolded in 1996. Krakauer's writing is candid, thrilling, and doesn't disappoint. A truly terrific read.
