You may remember that I wrote about how much I enjoyed reading the book, A Walk in the Woods. Since, I loved the book, I was hoping I'd love the movie too.
What the movie did that the book couldn't was actually show the beautiful scenery of the Appalachian Trail. The landscape was breathtaking and is now on my list of places to see! Thankfully, the movie was also funny!
The actors chosen for the movie were much older than their characters in the book. Robert Redford played, Bryson and Nick Nolte played, Katz. Wow, Nick Nolte gotten old! Emma Thompson played Bryson's wife.
Other than swapping for older characters the book and movie were pretty similar. The ending was different and left something to be desired. The scenery, story of friendship, and adventure are the key takeaways from the movie. I think, the trailer sums up the movie really well. Enjoy!

A Walk in the Woods
Hello to all my new readers in Russia, Ukraine, and Germany.
Since the movie, A Walk in the Woods isn't in the theaters anymore and isn't yet on DVD, I decided to read the book. To be honest, I didn't know the movie was based off of a book until I saw it while Christmas shopping.
I love the book, it's a fairly easy read. It's by Bill Bryson and he's now my new favorite author. He's written a lot of travel-related books that I plan on reading.
A Walk in the Woods is about the time Bill and his friend, Katz walked the Appalachian Trail. They had some many adventures and misadventures. Bill gives the history of the trail and the areas they travel through. At times there's too much side info for me, but I skip it over when it gets to be too much.
In the book, Bill and Katz are in their 40's. They fight each other, the weather, and other hikers. I often find myself laughing while reading it. Try it and see what you think.
Excited to see the movie:
