Great movie- can't wait to read the book!

Rating: 10/10 (23 October 2007)

I bought this book quite a while ago but never got around to reading it. I was so excited when I heard it was being made into a movie- especially with the help of Jon Krakauer! The movie is so engrossing that the nearly 2 1/2 hours went by very quickly. Christopher clearly was born too late- he epitomizes what we were like in the 60's and 70's- a time of innocence with a quest for simplicity. I really felt like I got to know and understand his character- such a sweet and likable kid. Emile and the rest of the cast did a great job. I will be buying this as soon as it comes out in DVD- and so I can watch it again.
