John Krakauer's non-fiction book has been a huge best-seller since it's release in 1996. It is an expansion of Krakauer's 9,000-word article, "Death of an Innocent", which appeared in the January 1993 issue of Outside.

It is a 203 page paperback and you can read it in a day, easy. The cover of which shows an abandoned bus in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness and these words:

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 moose hunter...

If that doesn't grab you then forget about this HUB and move on with your life. But if it does and you've heard about all the buzz from Sean Penn's film then you know what you gotta do.

How many times have you seen a movie and said, "Damnit! I wish I'd read the book." Don't let this happen with this book!!!!!

You'll thank me later!
