An interesting, true adventure story and portrait of a nature-loving nonconformist (Chris). I couldn't help but be irritated at the foolhardy chances Chris took in his journey of self-discovery, however. Also, Krakauer's reverent tone, when describing this ultimately senseless and needless tragedy, seems misplaced.
