Fascinating read about the tragic death of Chris McCandless. I picked this up this afternoon and read it in one sitting. Krakauer's writing style is easy to follow, and while there are a few bits that border on rocket science, he makes it easy to understand. I was fascinated not only with McCandless's story, but the other stories that Krakauer includes in this book.
