Independent Reflection

My first impression of this novel was that it seemed very interesting and definitely made me curious on how he died and his last 3 months of his life, what happened and how close was he to actually surviving in the wild. My final impression of the novel was sad and felt bad for him that he died and how close he came to still being alive if he would have stayed alive 12 days longer the hunters could of found him. My favorite part of the novel was when Krakauer was talking about climbing devils thumb and he almost didnt do it and at the last minute found a clear path to the peak I felt like him and chris were alot alike in the way they both loved to be in the wild and they both had problems with there dad. My least favorite part was the fact that chris was so stubborn to take any gear with him into the wild and the fact he really thought he could live off only a 10lbs bag of rice. I felt like they should have added more stuff about all the other places he visited I know it would of made the book longer but I feel like it should talked about his whole adventure.
