Review:
Into the Wild, is a tragic story about the death of Christopher McCandless. Although this book is tragic it is very unique. Christopher grew up as a rich, athletic, smart, and good looking kid. Chris had everything in the world, but he wanted one thing. Chris was always in love with the rugged wilderness and the one thing that he wanted was to travel into the great unknown, and to explore our magnificent country.
Chris’s journeys were nothing like anyone has seen. Although at times he may have been unprepared, it always seemed like he still had fun and wanted to do another adventure. Unfortunately, for Chris attempting to survive in the last frontier without being prepared led to his fate.
Jon Krakauer, incorporated many different themes, and used lots of outdoor jargon, that helped tell the story. This is one of the reasons why the book kept me glued to it. I give this book five stars because it really is a must-read. The thing that was most unique about the book was the feeling of inspiration. I personally felt like I wanted to be outdoors, and it made me think of camping and summertime. It made me feel like I wanted to go on an adventure. If you have the chance to read this book, I say definitely do it.
I definetely agree with your emphasis on the important lessons taught within this book and how unique it is. I think that those aspects in their own are worth the read even if the plot may get boring at points.
