Review:
Christopher Mccandless lived a life like no other. Mccandless had just about everything to be successful in life including, his smarts, his athleticism and all the money in the world his parents had. So explain to me why someone who had it practically all just fall of the face of the earth?
Into The Wild written by Jon Krakauer is a novel written to show the story of Chris Mccandless. This book is a literary non-fiction book that takes us on Chris's adventure that would lead to his death. Chris's last adventure would take him to the great alaskan wilderness where he would be found dead later in 1992. This adventure Krakauer would compare to other men with similar thoughts Chris had and would show us why Chris always wanted to go into the wild.
Krakauer uses many different forms of writtinging throughout this novel to build the story and make it a MUST read book for all. Not only does he tell Chris's story he tells the story through other characters in the book that relate to himself and Chris. He does this by using the others stories to make Chris's seem that much more adventurous! Throughout the book all i could help feeling was lost and mysious and this is from Krakauer's use of tone in the book. He wrote the book this way to almost seem like we were all solving the mystery together and put it together part by part.
I personally LOVED this book! It open my eyes to a genre I never thought I read and now from his writing i want to read more! If your into a mysious feeling and want to hear the stories that have never been told I highly suggest this book and recommend it to all.
