No, I'm saying that in the five plus years since I read the book the religion aspect was not what stuck with me.

As Seattle Ute wrote, I think Krakauer's biggest flaw is unoriginality - hardly unexpected in the journalisty "inside report" genre. On the other side of the coin, LDS writer Lee Benson is just as unoriginal (and probably more prone to inaccuracy) in his LDS sports books.

For me it was no more complicated than that Krakauer was played on TV by Shooter McGavin.

You papercut warriors are a hell of lot more exciting when you choose to not be so gentlemanly.
