into the wild

I am reading a book called into the wild by jon krakauer .I have finished reading the first two chapters .in this post I will give a brief summary about the author, the plot and some of my opinions about some points in the story .....

Jon krakauer is an American writer and mountaineer, well known for outdoor and mountaineering. His writing career has circled a lifelong passion for adventure, the wilderness, and mountain climbing— his most abiding interest. He is the author of best selling nonfiction books Into the Wild. The reason that made him write about Chris is that he had been told by OUTSIDE magazine to write about the young man’s story. Chris's story stays with Krakauer, encouraging him to further research about the young man to understand what went awry. Krakauer's was interested t in discovering the similarities between them. Krakauer believes that his own youthful escapades might easily have ended fatally, and he wrote Into the Wildtrying to defend Chris from his critics. Many people have responded to Chris's death with anger, seeing Chris as a foolhardy young man who threw away every advantage he was given in life.
