Who knew there could be so many? This time it's A Walk In The Woods. All joking aside, my wife and I LOVE this book. I fear that the movie will in no way do the book justice.

I would hope that a lot of people realize that there are hundreds, if not thousands of other trails that they could visit if they feel the need without adversely affecting this one. The article's description of how the makers of the movie went to great pains to remain true to the book gives me hope. We'll see!
