If you take a close look at Christopher's life and the way he wanted to live it you would see he liked simplicity. His whole goal was to live with the least amount of resources, no money no car, and the least amount of supplies. Does the make him dumb? I don't think so. It was a challenge to himself to find out who he is and to live off the land. And to the people that think he was an idiot a and not prepared for the wild and that is why he died, I disagree. He made it over a hundred days with limited supplies and if it had not been for the root or seeds he ate that no one knew were harmful when eaten he would have survived

inspiring or what!?
this book was compelling and soul searching, it leaves you with a sense of compassion and empathy towards christopher McCandless and his journey. I wish i knew someone as fascinating, and as brave as chris...

finding out who I am
I found the story to be about a young man who discovered himself by stripping away who he wasn't. The thought of doing such a thing enters the minds of people everywhere.Actually doing it can be done in different ways, but doing it is where the discovery of self is often found.The little boy inside of me awoke when I read the book. Unforgettable, gripping and cleansing to the self.
