into the wild ( book review)

The reason why i picked Into the Wild as my book is because the way he puts the world into perspective. He teaches that you dont need material wealth to be happy, instead you need to just know yourself. and there is no better way to know yourself untill you give everything up and live off the wild.
In April 1992 a young man from a well-to-do family hitchhiked to Alaska and walked alone into the wilderness north of Mt. McKinley. his name was Christopher Johnson McCandless. he had given $25,000 in savings to charity, abandoned his car and most of his possessions, burned all the cash in his wallet, and invented a new life for himself. four months later, his decomposed body was found by a party of moose hunters
If you are the type of person who questions authority and does not like the corruption in society today, you would like to read this book. it is a biography about a kid who hated the uglyness of society and just left it to figure out what life was reallly about
