Into the Wild Audiobook

" The story Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer intrigued me and told a story that reminded me of what I wanted to do when I was younger. However, his story was inspiring. It is about Chris who left college and donated all his money to charity. Then with his supplies he left and decided to wander around the world. The author tries to track down his story and fins people who met Chris. It tracks his story and his trek to Alaska. The book is amazing and he really spent time creating the story. I recommend this book to anyone who likes survival stories and if you enjoyed the book Hatchet then you will probably enjoy this story as well. "

" Interesting life, how a misguided young man causes his own death through ignorance. Almost a romanticized view of American life, adventure in the wild, self reliant, and ultimately unwilling to accept one's own limitation in knowledge. "

" Really? Has to be the most boring and uninteresting book I have read yet. I only finished it because it was for a team challenge and had no time to pick another book. "

" Love this book. I think Krakauer did an excellent job of telling McCandless's story. "

" "Into the Wild" is not so much a book about the wilderness, as it is a book about what happens to mentally ill people. Chris McCandless was a sick twisted freak, but yet still normal in his upbringing and so his gullibility was justified by naivete. This book kept me turning the pages, even though we know the outcome. I thought the author did a good research job, even if we will never quite understand why a person seems compelled to go to such extreme measures to find themselves. I also thought it completely stupid, and kind of egotistical to think you can go into the wild totally unprepared and survive. You must respect the wilderness. I think he got what he was asking for, sadly. The book is worth a resounding five stars. "

" I thought it was hard to understand so I didnt finish it. "

" Interesting story and pretty well written, but the author is too kind to the subject, who was foolish and naive. "

" Awesome story. Although the ending is sad, the content is uplifting in that a young man threw away his money and went on to pursue his dream, however negligible his actions may seem. I plan to read it again. "

" Fascinating story of young man's journey to enlightenment gone bad. Heartbreaking and beautiful. "

" Good book to read if you think it would be "fun" to go live off the land for a while. It makes me want to go out and try it sometime, but also makes you realize how hard it is and how much you have to be prepared. Very well written. "

" I really enjoyed this book! Krakauer made you feel like you on the clinbing the mountains and on the same journey across the country with Chris McCandless. Chris McCandles was an intersting man which lead me to want to know more and more about him. "

" A tragic tail of an Emory graduate who is searching for the meaning of his life. Unfortunately, he is a too stubborn to head the advise of others. "

" Intriguing story line, but it was just a so-so book. The lack of closure at the end was disappointing. "

" The book was really good and gave a lot of backround on Chris' s life and what he experienced before and aftee he left his hometown. However I did not like that there was a lot of stories of other peoples experiences in the wild I thought the author was trying to compete with Chris and his story. "

" Although I had a hard time relating to the young man the writing was good and I couldn't put the book down. Jon Krakauer is always a good read. "

" It was an interesting story, from an interesting perspective, however, I thought that there was a lot of filler to make the story long enough to be a book. "

" When I read this 20 years ago I was blown away by the capacity of the human spirit and how amazing this journey of life is. "

" Excellent read about a fascinating person...Alexander Supertramp!!! "

" Good travel book... "

" My younger sister asked me to read this book. I need to say thank you for that... I loved this book and would definitely read it over again. "

" I normally really like Krakauer, but I think he over-identifies with McCandless and isn't able to write about him or explain his actions in an unbiased way in this book. "

" Pretty good considering that it's part of the sophomore English curriculum. I liked this biography a lot, and learning about McCandless's reason for exploring the outside world was nice too. "

" It's good for teaching. It's a fun read. It provokes a lot of thought. It leads you to the even better Finding Everett Ruess by David Roberts. "
