    First I saw the movie, which I had particularly liked, then I started the book in English. Many parts get rather technical and since I'm not a mountaineer expert, sometimes I got kind of lost during the read. Even after reading the book I have mixed feeling about Chris McCandless, but still I find the story worth reading.

    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.
