Argh... I don't often want to drop a book, most of the time if I start it I'll read it all without problem but this book was just awful. The idea is sound and the whole thing makes an excellent story, however, the main guy (Christopher McCandless) is a douche, a spoiled twat and deserved everything he got and to make things worse the author who follows him (Jon Krakauer) obviously idolizes him and believe he can do no wrong which makes reading his 3rd person take at the whole thing just painful.

I finished it, eventually, and will happily never pick it up again.
