Keep up with the commentary please! It helps my brain stop and process and it helps with my ADHD lol! Thank you for the different accents too!
Awesome! It helped me too (even while I was reading 😜). Thanks for letting me know. 🤝
Your commentary helps so much with processing the different ideas in the book , great videos
Glad you think so, Jade! I appreciate your feedback! 😊
just wanted to say I appreciate the series a year later, thanks
Very much appreciated. Glad you found the videos. I love getting the comments and you are welcome! Glad these helped!
This book is so good.. I keep pulling for the hicker/journey man until the bitter end.. We all know how this book ends but I keep cheering for the underdog. Like the end will somehow change🤷♀️ Thank you again as always for your dramatic reading.
My pleasure, Rebecca. I really appreciate Jon Krakauer going into these mini stories of others who have taken similar journeys (with their own unique circumstances and motivations). It’s kindof what the audience is reading the book for (tales of survival/near survival in the harsh wilderness/daunting circumstances) and I think he felt (rightly) we could use a break/zoom out at this point in the book to set a larger context around our star Chris so we can appreciate all the more the kindof….strange brotherhood that people like Chris was a part of. Makes the story a larger story than just Chris’s story. It’s an American story. I dunno that’s just what I felt after reading this out loud to you all! Thanks for continuing to listen and for the support! Cheers 🥂
This is a fantastic book. I really love it. I shed a couple of tears in this chapter. It is very sad that he thought he was rescued and then to die like that. If he only knew to lift up both arms he would have been rescued. I felt very badly for him.
You are doing a great job reading this book. I am enjoying your work.
Thank you for sharing. This book really touched me emotionally as well and it’s been really rewarding to hear from others where it is doing the same. thanks for your feedback and positive support of my presentation of the story. I look forward to hearing from you as we move towards the end!
i’ve been watching your videos for into the wild and i just want to say your accents and input in every chapter really make the book more engaging!! Thank you for making these:)
Wow, thank you! 🙏 I appreciate this feedback. More than anything, I wanted the people to sound distinctive from each other. I was surprised just how many different people/voices John Krakauer brought into the book! It was a lot of fun to attempt and I’m glad you think I helped add to your enjoyment of this important story. All the best to you!
youre saving me in my english class
You deserve to be saved. Stick with me and I’ll get you through this epic tale!! 🤝
I relate to Waterman in a way. After completing something difficult, I will tend to just ramp it up to the next step of difficulty haha. I enjoy your commentary that comes along with your reading :). My semester final will be on this book, thanks for helping out🎉
Agreed can relate to Waterman and to you in terms of seeking that next mountain peak (real or proverbial) once you've mastered the last one. Thanks for the feedback and support. If I or any of the subscribers watching these (most of whom are also working on this for school, turns out!), just drop us a question or comment based on your assignment and happy to provide ideas. Glad the commentary has been helpful to you and please feel free to take and run with any of it for your assignment if you like!
i’m reading this book for my ap english class and ur readings are helping me understand ideas in the book so much better! especially when u give some commentary that shows me another perspective ! thank you for these. subscribed ! 😊
Fantastic! Appreciate your feedback, encouragement and subscribing! We are almost to 2000 subscribers which just blows my mind. 😊
love this book and your reading, reading this for junior year of hs ib english, and its inspiring me to set off on my own Alex Supertramp adventure to find myself in the wild, after highschool that is… THANK YOU FOR YOUR READING
Glad to hear from you Brody and I know how you feel! I felt the same way! Obviously, keep in touch with your family along the way (I think the book really drives that home) but I’m glad you’re enjoying my reading and this epic tale. Thanks for commenting and best of luck on your assignment!
😂😂😂
Just popped in from a wet grey Scotland to say thanks for doing this. Making my work day fly by.
Incredible. Thank you for letting me know. Ive always wanted to visit Scotland and now you’re visiting my channel! Huzzah! Cheers from Boston! 🍻
I love this ! Thank you for the reading and Commentary.
You are so welcome, Debbie.
originally i wasnt really intreested in this book for english but as we did the first chapter i immideatley fell in love and now im watching your videos on my own time since the commentary makes me make my notes even longer and better, helps me understand more to
That's great! It’s such a good story! Glad you found me and REALLY glad to hear when any of my random observations/outbursts about the story actually helps someone with their assignment! Best of luck and thanks for commenting
I'm reading this book for my English class. The read-aloud with commentary makes it so much better. Thanks for the videos😊
Glad you enjoy it! Good luck with your class! Thanks for commenting! 😇
I LOVE YOUR COMMENTARY AND YOU HELP ME OUT A LOT IN READING THIS BOOK FOR AP LANG 🙏
Really glad to hear it. I know there’s a few different audio options already out there to hear this story all the way through as-is. I figured I would add some value (hopefully) by giving it an extra-enthusiastic reading delivery and some occasional live reactions, so I could connect with you better and impart some of my own enthusiasm for this author’s work on others. Glad to hear IT’S WORKING 👏🤝
saving me in sophomore english THANK YOU
Hey my pleasure! Happy to use my interest in dramatic reads to help students!
I guess it is possible for a person to be both a genius and a madman at the same time, this guy is the now dead embodiment of that.
Thank you for sharing your reactions to the material! There are those who say madness and genius are very closely related. Hope you enjoyed the rest of my reading. Be well!
@NickSalvatoriello excellent reading thank you
34:01 I did not know that either. I'll make sure to keep that in mind if I'm ever in such a situation.

'-5 degrees ferinheight' "oh thats cold"
...about a month ago it was -35 where I live :sob:
Awwww well hopefully it doesn’t last all year! 😜
i need to read this for my english class and its midnight. please dont make extra commentary bc its taking time away from the actual book. i just need to read the words in the book
I hear ya. Good luck. I think if you’re in a rush there are other versions on CZcams or audible you could listen to, I tried to provide a little something different here. I hope you go back and read the book again when you have more time. Worth it!
Cool, I just wrote Nick jans a nice Note😂
😁
love your reading and i do like when you pause, but i think this video had a little too much pausing in it
I agree. I wish I could go back and edit out just a few. Hopefully you’ll find I reign it in for subsequent chapters (except for Chapter 12 where I turn it on a bit more, but I think my points were better made and better sewn in on 12 than here). Thanks for a gentle comment, I love all the feedback. Hope you enjoy the rest and please leave me a comment at the end about what you thought!
The goat
Honored! 🐐

👋
Thanks for reading, but my suggestion is to leave off the accents. You've obviously never been to Texas :) But regardless, I'm enjoying the audiobook.
Ha I have been to Texas a couple times but probably not long enough to really have the various regional accents fully rub off on me. But point taken! 😊
24:12 worst stutter in the series so far lol, love this book though
Ooomph yeah but I appreciate someone at least bookmarked it for me. THANK YOU for bearing with me through those trip ups. I tried to keep them and my outbursts/side commentary to a minimum but, as you see, sometimes can’t be helped, ha ha. I can’t recall if my teachers reading to us in school did any better, but I tried! 🤣
stop with the commentary and READ THE DAMN BOOK
Yeah this chapter I was particularly talkative. Sorry. Hope you still grind through it. There will be more. Otherwise I know there are other options out there of course. Cheers.
@@NickSalvatoriellobest response I’ve ever seen to a hate comment
@@NickSalvatorielloPlease do not listen to this comment!! I have a hard time processing a lot of audiobooks and intaking information from novels on general, so the commentary is very helpful in staying continuous with whats going on. Theres plenty of other audiobooks where people just read the book, yours is unique and the commentary is incredibly helpful!
The commentary is actually really helpful. Only reason why it wouldn't be is if you're, for some reason, in a hurry, such as in a class that you're reading the book in, and you didn't read the chapter. The commentary helps us know what's going on a bit more 👍
@@NickSalvatorielloCommentary definitely helps! I am reading this for a class and it feels like every time I am having a hard time grasping something you make comments that help. The commentary makes you unique, if someone were looking for no commentary maybe they should try audible. Also your voice is perfect for this book.
