hmgauthier 's review for:

Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer
4.0

4.5 “I now walk into the wild.”

“And I’m sure there are plenty of Alaskans who had a lot in common with McCandless when they first got here too…. Maybe McCandless reminds them a little too much of their former selves.”

I found the inclusion of Everett Ruess’ story to be particularly interesting and heartbreaking.

I very much agree with Krakauer’s read of McCandless.
