One word CLASSIC. I have the copy when the book first came out, before this one, and I love it! John Steinbeck is an amazing author because of his liteture. Many books I read for entertainment, its like a tv that makes you smarter, but this is the first book I read for liteture purposes. If your a Steinbeck fan this is another great book!

Again another great book I am glad I read. Just one thing, not the best book to do a book report on. The local Portland, writter Willy Vlautin, wrote a funny but intresting story. Anyone who likes books where people must runaway because something dramatic, this is the book for you.

By far one of the best books I have ever read. John Krakauer did great research on the now famous Chris McCandless. Before this book I was not an indepth reader. Then I found this book at my local Powells and I cant stop reading! I would suggest this book to anyone who just want to get away from life, or if you love the outdoors. John Krakauer wrote this book without flaw! So read the book then watch the movie.
