What mistake did Krakauer make???

Jom Krakauer wrote “Into the Wild”...

He also wrote “Into Thin Air” about an Everest expedition gone bad...

My wife enjoyed both books and forced me to watch the "Into the Wild" movie. I didn't like it. The main character was written as a total Mary Sue. Everywhere he wandered people thought he was the most wonderful person ever as he spouted his naive nonsense. They'd swoon and beg him to stay but no, no, he is off on his grand adventure to fix the world but he'll be back. "Oh we'll wait! we'll wait and pray each day for your swift return" they'd basically all say as he walked off.

Then he died stupidly which by that point just made me laugh.
