Into the Wild mixes Jon Krakauer's personal story with the tale of Chris McCandless, a college graduate who donates all his money and travels the country. McCandless's final adventure leads him to Alaska, where he ultimately dies of starvation. Moving, powerful, and thought-provoking, Krakauer's account argues that McCandless was not suicidal; I agree with him. Though McCandless made mistakes through his immaturity, Krakauer presents a persuasive and thorough argument, especially poignant for those who have "felt the call" themselves.
