Amazon.com Description:
“In April 1992 a young man from a well-to-do family hitchhiked to Alaska and walked alone into the wilderness north of Mt. McKinley. His name was Christopher Johnson McCandless. He had given $25,000 in savings to charity, abandoned his car and most of his possessions, burned all the cash in his wallet, and invented a new life for himself. Four months later, his decomposed body was found by a moose hunter. How McCandless came to die is the unforgettable story of Into the Wild…When McCandless's innocent mistakes turn out to be irreversible and fatal, he becomes the stuff of tabloid headlines and is dismissed for his naivete, pretensions, and hubris…”
My Thoughts:
Krakauer spins the intriguing tale of McCandless life, his passions and his intentions. His story is told in an honest and fair manner. Krakauer implores the reader to look deeper into McCandless and understand his motivations. A well-written book.
