My Impressions...

After reading the book I felt a little depressed. I will recommend such a book only for people who love sadness and self punishment. This might sound a little bit strong but that's what I feel. I loath anti-materialism, which McCandless and feel pity for those who embrace it as a way of life; and that's for two important reasons. The first one is that most of anti-materialists choose look to the world from outside with black looks and choose pessimism to control their judgement. The second reason might sound the strongest opinion I've ever expressed, so if you believe you are an anti-materialist and you may feel offended please stop reading here. What I think is that anti-materialism is no way for a human to think or to live by, because materialism is what separates the human from other life forms. On the other hand, I am not a pure material person who doesn't have a place for spirituals in his heart, I believe in balance in everything. A person should enjoy as much as possible while maintaining contact with his or one's spiritual self.
