As much as I like true adventure stories, I felt that the author put too much of his own experience in the book. It was a little bit long with all of the Jack London excerpts and personal narratives. I would have preferred the book be written only about Christopher, the young man who died in the bus. I would give Krakauer another shot though and I would like to read his other books. But save the personal stories for books about yourself please.
