  • The Book vs. The Movie

    After reading the criticisms leveled against Emile Hirsch by Ms Zacharek, I suggest she read the book. How she described Emile's performance was similar to how I felt after reading the book.

I still loved the book, which I was inspired to read after reading Into Thin Air by Krakauer.
