Since your post directly responded to mine, I must ask you to re-read my review. Nowhere was I critical of Chris McCandless, nor did I impugn his motives or his methods. I merely stated my opinion that his story was not particularly interesting.

Perhaps, because he came from a 'well-to-do' family, his experience elicited more coverage than might have been the case had he been some poor Joe, down on his luck, who wandered north in search of his destiny.
