Into The Wild

I read this book, hoping for the amazing story of Christopher McCandless to be explained. The story was, but honestly I thought it was very difficult and confusing to follow the story.

Christopher McCandless was a young man who loved to travel, and he decided to head out on an Alaskan adventure into the bush to live off the land by himself. The story is truly inspiring. Unfortunately, this book was not what I was expecting.

The story in itself is incredible, and although some people may think that Jon Krakauer portrayed it almost perfectly, I do not believe so. I think he jumped around too much which made the desire to read this book fall away. I would have liked the story better if it were more straight to the point, without all the confusing, extra details. I did not believe that they were necessary for this book. Others, however, may enjoy them.

For me, I would rate this book a 4/10.

My Point...And I Do Have One

I bought this book, and I was extremely excited because I absolutely love Ellen Degeneres, but I was really disappointed. I thought this book was hard to follow and didn't really make a lot of sense, but it may just be me that can't really understand it.

I do want to read her next book, and see if I like it better than this one though, I will not be discouraged!

Rating: 4/10

You Can Run But You Can't Hide

I just finished the book You Can Run But You Can't Hide by Duane "Dog" Chapman. I have never actually seen the show, but I haven't heard good things about it. I've had some people complain about the fact that he doesn't use a real gun. I still wanted to read the book though, bounty hunting is a really interesting subject.

I read through the entire book and loved every second of it. Dog had such an interesting (and terrible) life growing up. I was really curious about how he became a bounty hunter, and now I know. I also found out why he doesn't carry a real gun, and I was able to use that in a conversation with someone who didn't like the show.

I found myself constantly telling my boyfriend different things about his life. I would say that he is a little bit cocky, but if you grew up like him, and had caught over 6,000 people, who wouldn't be? The book is definitely a great read, and although it's an autobiography, it's a never-ending story of excitement.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes Dog, bounty hunting, or autobiographies. A great read!

Rating: 10/10
