I love these kind of books and I enjoyed this one immensely, I read it within a week. There was periods of it that were very sad but also really fascinating!
It's one of the best books about nature that I've ever read and would highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't yet read it.
I'm now looking forward to watching the film of the same name and also reading more of Jon Krakeuer's books which I hope I also enjoy!

I bought this second-hand copy of "Into the Wild" by Jon Krakauer. As expected from a used book, the quality was decent, but the real gem here is the story within.
The book takes us on a compelling journey of Christopher McCandless, a young man who leaves his comfortable life behind, donating his savings, and hitchhiking to Alaska to live in the wilderness. It's a true tale of adventure and introspection, making one ponder about the true essence of life and freedom.
Given the incredible narrative, this book deserves nothing less than a 5 out of 5 stars!

As of 05.03.2015, there are 2,249 reviews of "Into The Wild", with 489, or 22%, being negative, leaving 1,760 as positive. With so many reviews, another one either gushing with praise or heaping contempt would be at most a redundancy, and at worst a waste of my time as well as the reader of this review.
To fully appreciate this book as Krakauer wrote it (and as Christopher would have as well), the reader should ideally be pre-possessed with a sense of spirituality of some form, and an intellect that is open to perspectives other than their own. The mind that is closed to concepts unfamiliar to them, or so pragmatic in their life-view that deviations from common sense cannot be reconciled with the world beyond our five senses will be ill-suited to this recounting of an incredible journey of a soul; the awakening, the flowering of, and (where McCandless leaves 99.99% of us behind) the implementation of exploring the world through the eyes of a curious and life-loving ascetic.
This book is about the journey and evolution of a human soul. Christopher McCandless was a modern day John Muir, Jack London, George Mallory, Henry David Thoreau. Just as these...

Into The Wild- Jon Krakauer
Dov Guggenheim
When a teenager picks up a book that is seemingly on his reading level, the suspected genre is usually either fiction, non-fiction, or science fiction. One would also suspect the book to be one storyline, a plot that involves a main character, a conflict, and how the conflict was resolved. "Into The Wild" is absolutely none of this. Into the wild does have a main character, Christopher McCandless, who decides to leave a life with many advantages, lots of money, and a college degree, to go into the wild. But that is the only similarity. From case studies, to the exciting twists and turns of a rebellious young adult's life, and people he meets on his journey, the part biography, part non-fiction, part case study book "Into The Wild" is anything but a normal book.
"Into The Wild" is a book relating to the story of Christopher McCandless(who changes his name to Alex Supertramp), a well-to-do man who recently graduated from Emory University. His father, Walt, always pressures him to be perfect, and Christopher hates his father and everything about him, like his constant, imprudent chase of material...
