#0048A Into the Wild - Jon Krakauer

Even though I don't like books that are sad, I really enjoyed this book. I've always been interested in Chris since I saw the movie. Yes, they tell you at the very beginning that he died so that's not ruining the book at all. To me, this book feels more like an essay than a nonfiction novel.

Most people believe Chris McCandless to be crazy. I mean what is a 20 something year old doing giving away all his money and possessions to trudge through America where the road is his home? What does he know about the wilderness? In my personal opinion, I believe he knew more than what most people thought and his death was more of a horrible accident than an act of stupidity. 4 stars
