Wow that was a great read!
I wont talk about my opinions of Chris as that'll be an essay! But I assume most people share the same views/thoughts.
This is a true story and it's only 200 odd pages so wont take long
This guy had a dream, and in my eyes he achieved that. This was no ordinary dream so you can appreciate all the things he endured

Blurb said:By examining the true story of Chris McCandless, a young man, who in 1992 walked deep into the Alaskan wilderness and whose SOS note and emaciated corpse were found four months later, internationally bestselling author Jon Krakauer explores the obsession which leads some people to explore the outer limits of self, leave civilization behind and seek enlightenment through solitude and contact with nature. "An astonishingly gifted writer: his account of 'Alex Supertramp' is powerfully dramatic, eliciting sympathy for both the idealistic, anti-consumerist boy - and his parents" - "Guardian". "A compelling tale of tragic idealism" - "The Times".
