 Book Disappoints, Iceland Does Not January 9, 2009
Very sorry I ordered two of these books, one for myself, one as a gift for a sick friend. Very disappointed in two things: the writing and the photos. There are far better books on Iceland. Was expecting better quality of writing and photos. Perhaps Jon Krakuer should stick to writing (he did the photos). I thought the book would have had details of their trip, not stories of mythology.
 Breathtaking & Gorgeous July 20, 2008
A beautiful book combining stunning photography with an in-depth historical, literary, and cultural examination of Iceland. This book manages to be heavy on both text and photographs.
Recommended for those interested in Iceland, but it is not a travel guide-type book.
Beautiful Iceland November 29, 2007
This is an absolutely gorgeous book...the photographs inspire one to call Icelandic Air and make a reservation asap! Iceland, a placenot to be missed!

I recently visited Iceland for a a couple days enroute from Europe to the US and found myself enchanted by the country and its people. Returning home, I immediately wanted to purchase a book that would give me a better understanding of the culture, the land, and the history. This book has it all, and has filled me with interesting facts and stories, not to mention the beautiful visuals the photographs give. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in or loves Iceland.
