Story emphasizes much more on outside stories than the story of Chris/Alex, which wasn't necessarily a negative, just not what I'd expected from the story. Story heavily relies on recounts by miscellaneous individuals who interacted with Chris/Alex. The book also regularly discusses adventures of the author that are largely independent of the story, aside from describing how he and Chris/Alex are alike.

A heartbreaking tale meticulously researched and wonderfully told by Krakauer. Chris McCandless's story is powerful, inspiring, and tragic, and Krakauer masterfully balances it all with related tangents of his own.
