great exciting factual report

the mountaineer and journalist j. Krakauer describes in this book a shake Eden factual report to the disappearance of the young Chris McCandless in the Alaskan wilderness. the opinions about his death are very different, because of his negligent, poorly prepared "adventure" of hostilities up to admiration of his courage. Krakow has his novel very well researched with the help of the family of Chris and numerous reisebegenungen.

the story is very exciting and almost set up like a dokumetation. Krakauer also tries not a sympathy or antipathy to polarize for the hero. it still remains to the reader whether one approves of McCandless acts or sees him as stupid young adventurers.

for me that is entering into the wild beauty of nature, solitude and wilderness survival an interesting thought. but all acts of chris I can not understand, for example, why he burns his money - that seems to me stupid and defiant.

the film version of Sean Penn interests me very much, but I wanted to first read the book to their own images in my head to give rise. am so very excited.

The book is definitely highly recommended and shattering.
