Reception

Max Schiller states that “I highly recommend reading any of his books, particularly Into the Wild, if you are looking for a unique perspective on how people interact with the few areas of this planet that remain uncultivated by mankind”. Thomas McName noted that "Christopher McCandless's life and his death may have been meaningless, absurd, even reprehensible, but by the end of "Into the Wild," you care for him deeply."
