4 of 5 stars. submitted by cullerth on July 11, 2018, 10:01pm This is a tale worth revisiting every few years to see where you stand. When I first read it in high school I was nothing but inspired by Chris McCandless' eschewing of society and journey of self discovery in the Alaskan wilderness. I dismissed all criticisms about his selfish fool hardiness.

"But it's that brashness that makes this a story worth telling, isn't it? That's why we're discussing it right now, correct?" - I remember arguing with my English IV teacher. *hard eye roll @ younger me now*

The older I get the more I take to heart Chris McCandless' final message as the real moral here: "Happiness is only real when shared." Everyone seems to forget that that's the conclusion his wanderings led him to. That that's the mantra he didn't get the chance to mature into.

This is a book that will give you a lot to think about long after you've set it aside.
