Query: Gave the author a second chance...

I bought "Into The Wild" after struggling with "Into Thin Air". The story of Chris McCandless in "Into The Wild" didn't have enough substance to fill a book. Then, as if to fill in the huge gaps, the author gives us an account of his own hiking stories like that would interest anyone other than himself. I would have felt that buying both of the books was a waste of money. I redeemed myself by giving them both to my boss asking him not to return them. I also think the practice of taking a paperback, making it taller and wider than most paperbacks and charging double is highway robbery.
