Into the Wild

Into the Wild

This is probably one of the most enjoyable and interesting reading I had for a long time. The story focused on a college graduate called Chris McCandless, who ventured into the wild after abandoning his his cash, car, and basically all his belongings. Despite the fact that he could have settle down and find a good job with his college degree, instead he rather ventured into the wild homeless.

Everyone should read this book because it really can change the way we view this world. There's this person, who will give up everything to follow what he really wanted to do: embracing our nature. Unlike most of us, who are mostly materialistic and are willing to do anything that allows us to make the most money, instead of what we really wanted to do.

The author did a good job writing the book not only because it was informative and descriptive, but also because he wasn't biased. Many people feel that Chris McCandless is stupid for abandoning everything and travel into the wild without even telling anyone, making his friends and family worry. The other half of the people feel that Chris is inspirational for following his dream. The author didn't side with either of the group because he wanted the readers to form their own opinion. Now it is up for you to decide after you read the book.
