Thanks for the link to your review from mine–I loved reading your thoughts about this book, and agree with you on all points. She was young, grief-stricken and lost. The fact that she worked out of that made for a good story, and I thought it was well-written. I just got a copy of Into the Wild to read sometime this year, I hope!

I had a friend recently going on and on about this book and how interesting it was. I also found Into the Wild very compelling, though was also frustrated with McCandless and this idea that you must go away from people in order to find yourself. Can you not find yourself through people? Thanks for stopping by my blog.

I have read very mixed reviews of this book so far, with most of them being negative. This is normally the sort of memoir I gravitate toward, but the negative reviews have made me less eager to give it a try.

In reply to Ti. yeah I catch your drift; I won't argue it, but think what I put down. Thanks I value the input.

I really hated Wild. I thought it was poorly done and the fact that she wrote it so long after the trip itself, explains a lot. I just didn’t care for the tone of it. The healing aspect was appealing, but when so much of her thought processes were taken up with condom talk and the like, I just lost interest in her as a person.
