What readers think of Into The Wild, plus links to write your own review.

Those of us dogmushers and homesteaders from interior Alaska, who have read Jons book, have dubbed its "hero" the "Bozo in the Bus". One can go out into the wilderness, experience it, and live to tell the tale. We may not get a book written about us, but we don't get to die in some smelly, stinky metal coffin lying in our own piss and poop.
I remember passing the bus a year or so after he died, while traveling up the Stampede Trail with my dogteam. I envisaged lettering it with:"Send us your stupid, your dreamers, your vain".....

Nice writing job John! I look forward to more of your stuff.

I just happened to stumble on this book when I was looking for a book to analyze for a college psychology class. The story was very interesting to me being a true life account. There are as many mysteries as there are answers to his behaviors. I'm not an outdoors type of person but i really enjoyed the story. I would definitely recommend this to others.

This book is great! it gives you a deep understanding for hitchhikers and the struggles they go through.

As, a high school student at Sunset High School, in the years, have never read a full book because no book kept me wanting to read it. But Into The Wild was so great, it just kept me wanting to read. Into The Wild is my first book I have read, from the beginning to the end. GREAT BOOK!

i believe this book to be one of the more intresting books for me to read throughout my highschool years. I just finished reading the novel and it was truly hard to put down once i read on into the latter pages of the book. I believe any one and everyone should read this. It is a book that gets you to see how the mind of someone other than you actually functions. Great Read!!!

I had to read this book for my english class. i enjoyed it while I was reading it. It was very intriguing to see how far one person can go. I found chris a very well-developed character (maybe because he was a real person) because he had so many contradicting qualities, like the selfishness he displayed to his family and the selflessness he shows the strangers he met on the road. I like the way it was written. the only negative quality is that the middle gets kind of dull, although I understand you can't change someone's life to make it interesting. the other negative thing is that I just can't bring myself to reread it for the final in two days! there are too many characters to keep track of, too, so I'm having a very hard time studying this book for my exam.

My teacher assigned us the book, and it was not what I expected. I really enjoyed reading it and talking about it in class. For once, I knew what I was talking about. Thanks Jon!

The book Into the Wild was SO interesting! My english teacher assigned my class the book, and I read it in one night, I simply couldn't put it down! McCandless is often viewed as stupid and selfish to many people, but I kind of got a different view on him when I read it. It was very well written for the type of book it was. A well done page turner!
