    <body><![CDATA[Overall, this is an incredibly well-written and compelling piece of creative nonfiction.  Subjectwise, like a lot of people I kept flipping back and forth between being upset at how callous Chris was toward the people who loved him, and appreciating the kind of transcendentalist aesthetic he wanted to represent.  The historical contextualizing and meandering storytelling worked well.  Krakauer's writing kept me reading, even when I had the horrors over the unintentional, lonely deaths he describes, and I didn't want to put the book down.]]></body>
