    This has been a fascinating biography on the life of Chris McCandless. Krakauer pieces together his background and his adventures through the people who knew him. I really liked the journal entries/letters/and book quotes, which help you connect with Chris on a personal level. Into the Wild is also an examination on the psyche of idealists and adventurers. Krakauer exposes the lonely existence that goes along with seeing the world in a different way.

  • I liked this book but don't really understand all of the hype behind it. It's definitely a cult classic... generally really loved by people who are drifters at heart. It was a bit boring at times but overall it was enjoyable.
