agatha_hopkins's review against another edition
3.0
This book was well-written, and the author, Jon Krakauer, clearly went into much effort and research to put it together.
That said, despite the author's attempt to convince me that what Chris McCandless did was noble and mature, I found much evidence to the contrary.
I lack the ability to relate to Chris. I consider myself smart, but I would never consider myself clever enough to say I know everything I need to know.

Philosophical, living off the land, adolescent arrogance or ignorance?
Raised some interesting questions. I really liked the author's well researched approach and how they wove in so much information into a larger narrative. Just a fascinating take on a sad story that you might not give much thought to, ordinarily.
