This book is written by the best selling author Jon Krakauer. He was the author and participant in the Everest disaster in 1996. He wrote about his experiences in “Into Thin Air.” This was also an excellent book and was better than this work. Eiger Dreams is a collection of numerous articles that Jon Krakauer has written over the years that have been published in various magazine. This causes the book to have some excellent chapters and so weaker chapters. Also, this causes the book to jump around some on various mountain climbing topics. The book becomes more interesting as it goes deeper into the pages. The last few chapters are excellent. If you liked “Into Thin Air”, you will enjoy this book but just not as much.
