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.

excellent book. Chris get under your skin and you can not get him out. It is a book that makes you think about life and how everyone you know is affected by the decisions that you make or do not make. I highly advise everyone read this book

Amazing novel, Chris has touched my heart. You can learn alot from this book and how he survived with almost nothin. I wonder how chris would react if he knew someone made a book about himself! Everyone who likes the outdoors or wants to take a adventure like Chirs should read it!

Krakauer's book Into the Wild was about Chris McCandless. Chris had just graduated college and had everything going for him. But just leaves it all behind to travel around America with almost nothing.
I really enjoyed this book. I abmired Chris for just picking up a leaving everything to travel around. The way Krakauer wrote this book was also really enjoyable. He added stories of people who had experiences like Chris's. And told the reader what happened to Chris first, then explained how he ened up dead in an abandoned bus near Mt. McKinley.
I would deinitly recommend this book to anyone, especially those who where thinking about taking off like Chris. This book really makes you think that you aren't indesturctiable.
