Into the wild

We just read the book Into the wild by Jon Krakauer. It's about a young man who leaves his life to go to Alaska and live off the wild. But it's also about this very special young man that you feel some kind of connection to. That's what makes the book so compelling to a lot of people. It's not that he goes into the wild, because that makes him look like a fool, it's his thoughts behind the whole journey and the people he meets and the effect he's making on them. After reading the book you get a feeling of almost knowing him and also admire him and all he did. 

I really liked the book because it wasn't what I expected in the first place and you find the story more interesting the more you read. And I think that the people that don't like this book either don't agree with Chris' thoughts on life or they don't really feel the connection that some people get while reading it. 

I would recommend people to read it if they have big dreams in life and truly admire the people that just can leave everything they have going for them just to persuit that one dream and succeed. Or in this case almost succeeding. And also everyone else because it's a really amazing story that everyone should know about, and because it's all based on a true story makes it all better.
