I saw the movie first, which led me to the book, which paints a more concise and sympathetic picture of the main character. The descriptions of nature in this book are unbeliveably great! Almost makes you want to go "Into the Wild"! After the movie, I thought Chris was a selfish, egotistical boy. The book, softened my stance on Chris into a strong willed, adventurous, but tragically misled man. Worth a read!
