Last month I craved an adventure so I picked up Wild by Cheryl Strayed and loved it, it made me realize that I haven't read a lot of books about real adventure and people's experiences in the wild, so here I am again with a book to feed my wanderlust: Into The Wild by Jon Krakauer. 
 The book is an expansion of a 9.000-word article by Krakauer on Christopher Johnson McCandless titled "The Death of an Innocent", which appeared in a issue of Outside magazine, in 1993. Krakauer did pieced together Chris's story, thanks to the object and dairy the boy left behind and the people he meet during his vagabond years. 
 In April 1992 Christopher McCandless hitchhiked alone to Alaska into the wilderness of Mt.Mckinley, four months later his decomposed body was found by a party of moose hunters in an abandoned bus in the forest, the same one we see on the cover of the book. How a young man from a well-to-do family came to die in the desolate wilderness of alaska is the story Krakauer tries to portray in Into the Wild. 
 The book shows very well how Chris wasn't a naive middle class boy who went into the wild unprepared, but how even thought the boy wasn't an expected of survival, he had managed to live homeless and penniless for more than two years and if it wasn't for some unlucky circumstances it would have been easily able to come back alive from Alaska to.

 "Don't settle down and sit in one place. Move around, be nomadic, make each day a new horizon." 
 Reading about this clever young man who had such high ideals, was quite inspiring. His way of living life was totally off-beat, he was a romantic, overconfident, an idealist but never naive. 
 Krakauer writing style is a reporter's one, simple, direct, with interviews and document posting, it felt original and real, I was really impressed with it and came to like it quickly. 
 I liked this document book quite a lot and I will see the movie as soon as possible.
