I found the book to be highly interesting and addictive. Although it was assigned to me, and I didn't read it by choice, I still enjoyed it. McCandless's struggle to find himself in sanctity in Mt. McKinley was not only tragic, but also memorable for readers of his letters and his family, as well. I look forward to reading the rest of Krakauer's books. He is truly a great American writer.

I was supposed to read this book for english and i tried reading but half way through the book i just stopped. There are way too many characters, like 2 in each chapter and the book just sucked.

I had to read this book for my english class. i enjoyed it while I was reading it. It was very intriguing to see how far one person can go. I found chris a very well-developed character (maybe because he was a real person) because he had so many contradicting qualities, like the selfishness he displayed to his family and the selflessness he shows the strangers he met on the road. I like the way it was written. the only negative quality is that the middle gets kind of dull, although I understand you can't change someone's life to make it interesting. the other negative thing is that I just can't bring myself to reread it for the final in two days! there are too many characters to keep track of, too, so I'm having a very hard time studying this book for my exam.

this book is just great. this'll probably sound like self-aggrandinzing-ness, but what chris did is sort of what i had hoped to do after i graduate from high school for a summer. this book gave me a great view on it, plus it is an incredible story and remarkable written.

My teacher assigned us the book, and it was not what I expected. I really enjoyed reading it and talking about it in class. For once, I knew what I was talking about. Thanks Jon!
