This book is heartwrenching. Its almost like you're there with Chris McCandless during his journey, and I love how Krakauer used other people similar to Chris including himself to get a better understanding of the character. I also liked how Krakauer didn't really criticize Chris McCandless, but let everyone's opinion come in mind. I am reading Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air now and I think he is an amazing author, definitely one of my favorites. I hope he will write another book soon
