Oct 14, 2011 - So, Chris rode out with you on the snowmobile, talked with you on the way to the bus, and then just disappeared? I think he disappeared when he wrote what's revealed on P. 64 in ITW. Why did he write such a thing?

Oct 5, 2011 - The book & the movie don't really give an input from the parent's point of view. The movie even portrays them as bad, but I believe that they're just unspoken for. The book DOES NOT say that they're bad parents (except for Walt's earlier affair..which would only consider them a bit of a bad example), Chris was just angry at them and just misunderstood. He wanted to find himself by going into the wild. He WAS going to return back to his family, but unfortunately couldn't

Sep 25, 2011 - i am such a fan of Chris, everything that he did is so much alive, more than what has been said now that he is gone. I am a Florida person, but I can not wait to do the tralil!!!!! Thank you Chris.
