A heart-wrenching, hard-to-put-down read. While I found them interesting, I found the many comparisons of Christopher McCandless to other adventurers or people who had ventured into the wild a little repetitive. A captivating book that’s part biography, part mystery, part adventure, and what feels like part essay, that explores how ambition, preparedness, wild nature, and luck can impact one’s life…

adventurous dark emotional informative inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

Something about this book is so relatable to us all. The idea of forgetting society and rekindling your relationship with yourself and the earth. Trying to live independently away from the “poison of society” is so exhilarating… and this man actually went through with it. There is something so admirable about Chris that made me fall in love with his character. Krakauer’s use of story telling is exciting and thorough, the best it could possibly be. I was not once bored with this book because it made me think and  appealed to the adventurous side of me. I have 0 negatives from reading this book. Everyone should read Into The Wild.
