Unbiased view of a journey

This book was a great journey through nature, society, and the inner being. The movie and book have both had a lot of controversy surrounding them. With many people calling Chris a fool and the book glorifying his mistakes, and others idolizing Chris and wishing they could go on their own journey. And while i can see how people would get both of these views i don't think the book is either.

I think the author did an excellent job at telling the story of Chris. You feel like your going down the river, working in the cornfields, and enjoying Alaska's wilderness. Mixed in with Chris's story are some of the authors own and other peoples similar journey's. I think these add to the book a lot. They help you see a little more into the type of person Chris was.

If you approach this book with a level head and open mind you will enjoy it. Read it an think about who Chris was, why he went on this journey, and what did he do wrong. Don't idolize him for what he did. Don't criticize him for who he was. Accept the fact that he was and that he experienced things in life most never will. Enjoy walking into the wild.

I've blown through Into the Wild

and for me - Jon Krakauer's is one of those writers that just need to be read. His book Into the Wild is nothing short of splendid. The writing is flawless and the characters are fully developed and likeable.

Into the Wild - incredibly awesome!!

Excellent book, one of the best I have read in a long time. Krakauer's vivid descriptions allow one to feel as though (s)he is walking right along in the wilderness with Chris McCandless. The dialogue between Chris and the folks he meets helps one obtain a better insight into his frame of mind, almost like reading his diary. I found it sad yet understandable how a young man could embark on such a life-altering jouney that would unfortunately end in tragedy. Highly recommended read!!!
