I just finished Into Thin Air in less than 24 hours I usually don't read non-fiction, but this book was incredible from start to finish. I literally read for a day straight, I couldn't put it down. I felt that although the author writes in a very journalistic, fact-oriented manner, this makes it an even more emotional story. The reader can fill in the blanks about how the author must be feeling during the disaster, and what it must be like to cope with the massive survivor's guilt and grief. I can't recommend this book enough.
