Back to McCandless story. I think that the book is almost at it end.

The author’s experience is also very exciting, his adventure going to the Ice Thumb or something like that is incredibly inspiring.

Essa parte do livro é muito interessante, porque a gente começa a entender melhor o autor do livro, colocando em perspectiva com a história do Chris.

Estou gostando dessa parte do livro, porque começa a falar um pouco mais sobre a infância do Chris. Dá pra entender um pouco mais dos traços de personalidade que ele tem, porque nessa parte do livro a gente se depara com as opiniões e falas da irmã dele Carine. Muito interessante!

In this part of the book, we meet other adventurers stories. I find it very interesting since you can put in perspective and compare with McCandless’.

So far, an excellent book, it doesn’t romanticize the fact that McCandless went to wilderness unprepared showing the letters and testimonies given by Alaskans when they’ve seen the article published in the journal. For them, McCandless was just another guy that overestimated himself.
