![]() ![]() ![]() However, the first time a kill was shown, I was a little taken back. ![]() There is nudity and graphic images of kill scenes included but not gratuitously presented. It is about the struggles we face and the hunger we all have (and not just for human hearts). It is a metaphor for discipline, the trials of being a teen, coming out to yourself and your mom (literally). It is not just about friendship, relationships, and fitting in, this allegorical teen horror beach read is about coming into your own. To think an upfront story of werewolves and the not so mischievous antics of giving boys who deserve it, what they deserve would have a message might not be your first thought, but it does give a life lesson (and not just make sure you don’t leave bloody sneakers or a whole body to be found). This slower, interestingly placed action is what is needed to get across the points of the story. Yet, this does not take away from anything. It is almost as if you are reading Maggie Tokuda-Hall’s book in “real time.” You see the everyday and the little things. This is not necessarily because it was OMG SO GOOD! Or even “deep and thoughtful” but because it is paced fairly slow. I started it about a week or so ago, and while I cannot say it is the first graphic novel that took me that long (or longer) to read, it was one that really took some time. I was tempted to sink my teeth into it right away, but things just got in the way.

She is flatly against the hike and insists that he take somebody with him. She is a retired nurse that he met during his residence in England. The woman asks Stephen to help her remove her panties from the washing machine and one thing leads to another, and he finds himself pursued by her jealous husband. At one point, Nolte romances a two-ton Tessie in a Laundromat when they take time out to sleep in separate motel rooms. The bears raid their camping area, and our heroes stand up in their little tents and shout back at them to run them. The encounter with the bears is the high point of their shenanigans. Our senior citizens, Bill Bryson (Robert Redford) and Stephen Katz (Nick Nolte of "48 Hrs"), set out to hike the Appalachian Trail, and there are some good moments among the routine ones. Nevertheless, stunning scenery and okay dialogue can only get you so far. ![]() "A Walk in the Woods" has its share of amusing moments, and it is always a pleasure to watch Robert Redford and Nick Nolte, not to mention Emma Thompson and Mary Steenburgen. ![]() |
