“Which was better the book or the movie. I have only read the book and i thought it was pretty good.”
“Even Though he was foolish I give him credit for chasing his dreams. most people are afraid to do so.”
“Even though the boys motives are suspect, the description of the landscapes and the call that nature has on us kept me turning pages. Anyone who can find peace in a sunset, joy in beautifully shaped tree and delight in a waterfall will like this book.”
“There's a movie? I read this a long time ago. Its a pretty tragic story. Its good and everything, but it made me depressed. ”
“Not as compelling as "Into Thin Air", but the intent is not a gripping account of disaster but an exploration of one man's life journey. What makes this so good, besides Krakauer's excellent writing, is his sense that he is cut from the same cloth as his subject and therefore can understand what others would call incomprehensible.”
“WARNING!!! Read this book only if you are prepared to realize how bad your cubicle sucks! This book is a huge awakening to the redundent, repetitive hassles of the average American life. Although one may not go to the extreme as McCandless did, almost everyone can find themselves a little bit envious of the subjects courageous (even if ignorant) departure from modern society, into the hands and fate of nature. ”
“I really liked the book but started drifting at the end. I felt the story didnt need that many pages to tell. I should go see the movie.”
“great book, best movie of the year so far.”
“Yup... I like it. Among the books that really turn the hidden spirit and blow it into an open sphere. A young man, full of idealisme but leads the wrong way out of the wild. Read it folks! Jon really put in in an interesting manners.”
