I think a lot of people are taking the Krakauer book and the movie as gospel. A few years back the McCandless family finally released details about Chris and Corrine's upbringings that were only touched upon in the books. Corrine (his sister) wrote a book titled "The Wild Truth" which makes everything come together. (related article: http://www.cpr.org/news/story/chris-mccandless-sisters-explain-why-he-went-wild ) There's also a theory that he didn't die from the potato seeds, but instead from a fungus they were contaminated with. Most healthy people would have survived but he couldn't due to being malnourihed. I wouldn't wish his childhood on anyone, and I respect his decision to try to find out what life was about. Unfortunately, he only learned that the whole world hates you and is actively trying to kill you most of the time.
