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

The book seems pieced together, not really follwing one stream fo thought. Krakauer jumps about, and seems to be guessing most of what happened with McCanless.

I thought it was boreing, repetitive, and just plain stupid. So the kid went crazy and went to live in the woods, woopie, if someone did that right now, you'd call him a lunatic. Thats exactly what Chris was. He put himself in that posistion and thats it. Why glorify a moron? The book itself barely even told about Chris, it told of what the writer thought about Chris, and the expieriances of hisown, and others. If the writer was more focesed on Chris, and not useing fancy, hard to understand words, it would of been better

I thought this book was awesome!!

How can this book have so many excellent reviews? I would definitely not give it the title of "hard to put down". To me, it was more along the lines as "hard to pick up". I never finished it, it's still staning in my closet, but I do think I gave it an honest try. The descriptions become always the same and the incorporation of philosophy within the novel simply could have been done better. In one word - boring. I've read LOTS of more interesting books, but this one... hasn't done it for me. More stuff needs to happen, please. After the first three chapters, this book becomes WAY too repeptitive. By the way, I'm 17 and working on an English major. Just for the sake of you reader knowing if you want to give it a shot or not.

I enjoyed this book for the simple fact that I love reading about people and how they try to overcome hardships in their life. The author was great on catching all the emotional elements of the story and how McCandles touched the lives of so many people. The book would have been better if the author was more focused on the story

this book lacked excitement i couldnt get into it. I had to read it for school and now because id didnt remember ne of it im looking for a summary of it with charcter names. THIS BOOK WAS NOT GOOD I WOULD NOT SIGEST IT TO ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This book lacks excitement. It is extremely boring, and it jumps from discussion of Chris (the main character in a large portion of the book) to discussion of the author and tales of other people who suffered a similar fate to Chris. Had Krakauer stuck to the story more and livened up the plot, Chris McCandless's life would have made an enjoyable read, and the entire book would have been more enjoyable.

Into the Wild was a really intriguing book that really captured my attention. In every chapter Krakauer made me wonder what was going to happen next, so I kept reading it. Krakauer is an excellent writer. I could really picture everything that he wrote about.He's excellent because it was like he was ther with Chris McCandless on his odyssey, because he explained everything so well. I think Everyone should really get a chance to read this book.
