具体描述
After graduating from Emory University in Atlanta in 1992, top student and athlete Christopher McCandless abandoned his possessions, gave his entire $24,000 savings account to charity and hitchhiked to Alaska, where he went to live in the wilderness. Four months later, he turned up dead. His diary, letters and two notes found at a remote campsite tell of his desperate effort to survive, apparently stranded by an injury and slowly starving. They also reflect the posturing of a confused young man, raised in affluent Annandale, Va., who self-consciously adopted a Tolstoyan renunciation of wealth and return to nature. Krakauer, a contributing editor to Outside and Men's Journal, retraces McCandless's ill-fated antagonism toward his father, Walt, an eminent aerospace engineer. Krakauer also draws parallels to his own reckless youthful exploit in 1977 when he climbed Devils Thumb, a mountain on the Alaska-British Columbia border, partly as a symbolic act of rebellion against his autocratic father. In a moving narrative, Krakauer probes the mystery of McCandless's death, which he attributes to logistical blunders and to accidental poisoning from eating toxic seed pods. Maps. 35,000 first printing; author tour.

读后感
拿到这本书，最让我不解的是，一名年轻流浪者的经历，如何能让不少记者尾随其踪迹花一两年解开其谜团，让肖恩•潘执著十年等待克里斯父母的允许开拍电影？更重要的是，本书雄踞《纽约时报》畅销书排行榜两年以上，牵动了几百万美国人的心。说到底，克里斯不过是一名不幸的流...
评分If you are old, go by all means, but if you are young, stay away.... The scenery of Alaska is so much grander than anything else of the kind in the world ... it is not well to dull one's capacity for such enjoyment by seeing the finest first. － by Henry G...
评分错字、漏字都不计较了，整本书设计都太失格调，从封面到封底，没能找到一页上眼的,出版社还自吹自擂弄个了“小红帽”，唉~~。最不解的是，居然在首页来上个“成就商业阶层事业与生活的梦想”的口号，湛庐文化纯SB！！！

推荐，尤其是如果你看过电影的话。这本书跟电影差别很大，对于McCandless 这样极具争议的人物，电影很容易给他简化成某一面，这本书则表现了他这个人和他做的事情的复杂性。Krakauer 是个很厉害的记者，还爬得一手好山，偶像。
评分Happiness only real when shared.
评分比电影好太多，作者通过前前后后大量线索的整理，刻画出了一个更加完整的追求精神上自由的年轻人的形象。而且我感觉这本比Into Thin Air写得更好。因为Krauer联系起自己年轻时候独自在阿拉斯加攀冰的经历，对于Chris有一种感同身受的人文关怀。再看看那些谩骂Chris的脑残读者来信，真是千古乌鸦一般黑。更为可贵的是，作者又能够比较各种证据，有理有据地应对批评——他年轻的时候可是个流浪木工……
