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…

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.

it was very interesting reading chris's story. it was courageous of him to do what he did and i admire it a lot. the things i didn't like in the book, however, was how much the author would drift away from the story. i get he was trying to connect chris to other explorers (and to himself) but it completely threw me off and made the story very hard to read. i think he dragged the comparisons out way too long and it just made me not want to finish the story at all because of how confusing everything became. however when it did get back on track, i think it was the last few chapters, it became enjoyable and easier to read.
