I read the book, I liked it a lot. It was one of those Bad Decision things. He made a lot of bad decisions and he had a lot of delusions of grandeur (if you will) he thought he was immortal. It reminded me a lot of that story about the guy with the bears. I would see the movie if I can get a babysitter!

I think the movie comes out on DVD early Feb.

I saw Sean Penn and the family of the man on Oprah a couple of months ago. After seeing them and hearing the story I really wanted to read the book and see the movie but I haven't had the chance yet.

Just wanted to see if I was setting myself up for disappointment or they were really that good.

I want to read the book- then see the movie. Its on my "read next" list Chat Icon

My favorite song at the moment is on the movie soundtrack- Hard Sun by Eddie Vedder.

Sounds like a great story...

I liked the book - it took me a really long time to get through (I normally read a book in a day or two) because reading about his bad choices just made me bristle under the skin.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I plan to.

I read the book and really liked it. But I was somewhat unsympathetic to him. I felt like what happened to him was because of his own stupidity and to a certain degree, his arrogance. He went into the wilderness ill-equipped and not prepared.
