 Review:

 “Into the Wild” by Jon Krakauer is a book about the art of pushing yourself to the limits and surviving. It is a story like no other, about a young man and his vision of what human life should be. It gives readers insight of what a nomadic life truly looks like. 

“Into the Wild” is the type of book that makes you wonder if you have what it takes. Chris McCandless gave himself a roller coaster of a life, simply by leaving the american materialistic life behind. What makes this book unique is the similarities between the writer and person of interest. Krakauer and McCandless had the same love for the outdoors and adventures. Krakauer’s knowledge of how nature’s fascinations have a tool on a young man’s soul, makes for the perfect storyteller. 

  The mood of the book is dark and adventurous. Because the author spends a lot of time talking about McCandless's motivations and dysfunctional behavior. It’s more adventurous while Chris McCandless is hitchhiking around the West, because he is having fun and taking risks. Towards his journey in Alaska, the mood changes into being lonely and depressing, because of the isolation he endured during that time.

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves biographies about ordinary people and their not so ordinary lives. I think the best thing about this book is you walk away with a true story you won’t forget.
