About this listen

 In April 1992 a young man from a well-to-do family hitchhiked to Alaska and walked alone into the wilderness north of Mt. McKinley. His name was Christopher Johnson McCandless. He had given $25,000 in savings to charity, abandoned his car and most of his possessions, burned all the cash in his wallet, and invented a new life for himself. His body - along with a camera with five rolls of film, an SOS note, and a cryptic diary written in the back pages of a book about edible plants - was found six months later by a hunter.©2007 Jon Krakauer (P)2007 Random House, Inc.

Critic Reviews

"A narrative of arresting force. Anyone who ever fancied wandering off to face nature on its own harsh terms should give a look. It's gripping stuff."—Washington Post

"Compelling and tragic ... Hard to put down." —San Francisco Chronicle

"Engrossing ... with a telling eye for detail, Krakauer has captured the sad saga of a stubborn, idealistic young man."—Los Angeles Times Book Review

Serene yet enjoyable

Amazing book. The character of Alex Supertramp liberates you. The narration is soothing but can be soporific of you get lost into the story

Excellent story telling. Very spiritual .

This has been the best read of my life. Great story telling. Protagonist spiritual life, his experiences and the authors interpretation of the story and incident is all so very well written. It's almost as if I saw Mccandles life playing right in front of my eyes.
