What readers think of Into The Wild, plus links to write your own review.

Into the wild is a boring book. I chose to read it in my English class from a list of books because everyone was reading it so I figured it would be good. I guess I was wrong. I don't know how anyone can feel sympathetic for chris. he didn't have to become a bum and travel across the country, only to be found dead. also the story line is boring. Nothing exciting really happens.

Hi all mountain aficionados

Since " Into thin Air " Krakauer is one of favorite mountaineering writer."In to The Wild. Good writing. However it does occasionally remind me of good ol Jack London.

Good climbing. Carry on...


Only one remark: Please use the metric system - in brackets like IHT or the New York Times. "His backpack weighed 40 pounds!"- I don't have a clue. I have to stop reading. Connect my internet and convert to kilograms. It cheeses me off!


New York Times have gone metric inch by inch (in brackets)

Why can't you go metric. You can't change Jon Krakauer according to him the peaks are in in feet!

But the editor of the publishing house should edit the text and change it in to kilograms, meters, accordingly


Europe is metric. Asia is going metric!

I live in South East Asia - Thailand. We are using the metric system we use the metric phone time 15.00 hours not 3 PM.

Keep climbing.


Cheers John

This book is great! it gives you a deep understanding for hitchhikers and the struggles they go through.

As, a high school student at Sunset High School, in the years, have never read a full book because no book kept me wanting to read it. But Into The Wild was so great, it just kept me wanting to read. Into The Wild is my first book I have read, from the beginning to the end. GREAT BOOK!

I had to read this book for english, and I did not enjoy it as well as I thought I would have. Sure I understood it better than my friends, but that's beside the fact that the book bored me to death. I agree with other people when they say there are to many characters, and if you're doing a project on it, there is way to much information to be found on it.

This book was very confusing,and hard to follow. I had to read it for my english class and no one in our class passed the test. I found this book to be good in a few parts but overall it was boring! I think I would rather read a dictionary to be honest. I enjoyed the story line, but you jumped around to much and you added to much about other people. Overall I would not suggest this book to anyone! Sorry Krauker this book was weak!

This book is one of the best books that I have read. I have never really been intrested in mountain climbing and journeys like the one Chris took but I really enjoyed this book and could barely put it down. I am now much more intrested in reading other books about such adventures like "Into Thin Air". I suggest that everyone read this book once in their lifetime.

i believe this book to be one of the more intresting books for me to read throughout my highschool years. I just finished reading the novel and it was truly hard to put down once i read on into the latter pages of the book. I believe any one and everyone should read this. It is a book that gets you to see how the mind of someone other than you actually functions. Great Read!!!
