Hi All!
I wanted to share this email that I received from a parent doing the read-along (with her permission).
"Mr. Rother,Thanks for encouraging us parents to read along with our kids. 'Into The Wild' is difficult to put down. Yes, I love nature, but not as much as McCandless. I don't understand the mind set of these guys and their 'one with nature' adventures. After reading Chapt. 8, it almost seems like it's innate. You are born with this. Some of the characteristics of some of the men give red flags to autism and asperger's too, especially the social isolation, but they are typically rule bound and McCandless was not. Anyway, this has been very interesting to say the least. I see that there is a movie too, produced by Sean Penn, and I plan on watching it with the girls. GREAT BOOK!
Thanks,Amie(Annah and Steph Anderson's mom)"
