A review by jennyhamel
Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer
4.0
This story is so well researched and written in a way that keeps you engaged and makes you want to know what happened next. Krakauer took care to dig deep into why Chris never made it out of the Alaskan wilderness, making sure he wasn’t just writing him off as inexperienced and ill prepared. I’m looking forward to reading more from this author.
Side note: The only part of the book I didn’t care for were the 20 pages or so where Krakauer went into his own story; while it’s interesting that he found Chris’ life to be relatable, I don’t think it added anything of value and I felt myself wanting to skip ahead to get back into the story that was being told.
