Billy I enjoyed into the wild, however I sorta knew what was comming because someone ruined it and told me ending but enjoyed none the less. NO I heven't read the book but I didnt think it was all that sad. Like Bart said He basically didnt want to be a robot and do what everyone expected him to do and hated how society and life was. He was going to find himself. I also agree with Bart in its all in teh risk you want to take. You play with a Grizzly dont come to me if he gets hungry. I can apreciate there passion and no matter how it ends good or bad you have to apreciate there drive.
