Title: Mean-spirited, fictionalized and not funny
Product review: I was hoping for a funny, honest look at the Appalachian trail, but this book is neither. I was very disappointed and offended by the hateful stereotypes. The author comes across as a smug, mean-spirited, and deeply misanthropic person and his accounts are obviously highly fictionalized. How anyone could be fooled into thinking that this book is a true account is beyond me. The only thing that comes across as honest is the author's prejudiced attitude toward fellow humans. I actually threw this book in the recycle bin rather than give it away and inflict it on anyone else.
