Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer

4.0

Krakauer writes in an excellent manner in depicting the travels of Chris McCandless-- aka Alexander Supertramp. Far from dry, this book paints a realistic picture and attempts to get into the psychology of McCandless and his purpose in abandoning civilization for the harsh Alaskan bush. This book, however, is not very objective, and Krakauer is obviously attempting to defend McCandless against the numerous outbursts and comments against him. Other then its subjectivity, this book is a fabulous read.
