As far as non-fiction books go, Les Stroud's into the wild is among the most exciting. Les Stroud is a kind of survival expert, with the knowledge of how to survive in the harshest of terrains. He takes us through many stories of survival from around the world, explaining how they survived, what went wrong, etc. He uses these stories to give a lesson on how to survive in the wild, in the worst of situations.
This book was a combination of good things. It had interesting, scary, and exciting stories of survival - which is enough to make a good book. Stroud also takes us through their journey of survival and gives tips, and explains how the situation could have been avoided. I came out of the book feeling both satisfied, and happy to have a few ideas of how to survive should the worst happen. Although the book was somewhat graphic in it's content, anyone in the class could enjoy it.
