Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer
tomturner2, March 1, 2008
When I first heard this story,I thought, ( probably like many) how can anyone be so foolhardy? But Jon Krakauer does his usual excellent job of taking you there and shedding some light on the how and why of this tragedy. It also reminded me of my own adventuring foolhardiness of my younger days that I was lucky enough to survive.So Krakauer was able to also bring some empathy for the young man to the story and remind me I wasn't always as smart as I think I am right now. An excellent read, especially for those who adventure ( or yearn to).(4 of 6 readers found this comment helpful)
