~*Full review on The Bent Bookworm!*~“He read a lot. Used a lot of big words. I think maybe part of what got him into trouble was that he did too much thinking. Sometimes he tried too hard to make sense of the world, to figure out why people were bad to each other so often…he always had to know the ...
In April 1992 a young man from a well-to-do family hitchhiked to Alaska and walked alone into the wilderness north of Mt. McKinley. His name was Christopher Johnson McCandless. He had given $25,000 in savings to charity, abandoned his car and most of his possessions, burned all the cash in his walle...
I love this book so much ! The story haunted me deeply for a long time, it's one of the most unusual and powerful books I have ever read.Born Chris McCandless, he changed his name to Alexander Supertramp, a young man who left his family and friends, donated his college money , abandoned most of his ...
"It is hardly unusual for a young man to be drawn to a pursuit considered reckless by his elders; engaging in risky behavior is a rite of passage in our culture no less than in most others. Danger has always held a certain allure. That, in large part, is why so many teenagers drive too fast and drin...
This is one of these rare cases where I watched the movie before reading the book. And because of that I did not enjoy the book that much.

At the time of writing this, I had noticed that the last few books I'd read had really hooked me in and had me mainlining them into the early hours of the morning which may be why they all ended up getting those 4 stars from me. Eh, whatevs. So I'm going to speak ill of the dead and say McCandless...
Whew, I did it. I finished this book and it feels like it took me ages to finish these 200 pages (ultimately it took me eight days to finish it). It´s the story about Christopher McCandless who has gone into the Alaskan wild "to live of the land" and died four months later of starvation. So the st...

I love this book so much. Maybe it's because I can relate to Chris, or maybe it's because I love the organization of the book. Either way, this is one of my favorites.
It was raining, the day I finished reading Into the Wild. I realised I hadn’t moved an inch from where I was sitting. Later, I caught myself staring blankly into the rain. I was silently mourning Chris’ death. Into the Wild, for me, is special. I could, in more ways than one, relate to Chris McCandl...
