It seems like everyone I mention this book to has already read it, so I won't go into much detail. Probably the most notable thing about it is that Krakauer had only just become a bestselling author when he went on the journey to Everest, and the fact that he was intimately involved with such a fateful episode right after publishing Into the Wild is interesting to me. The climb was originally supposed to be just the basis for an article in Outside Magazine, but Krakauer expanded it into a book when he felt that the length restrictions on the article had been too limiting.
