Title: A hilarious narrative of two less-than-average-Joe-hikers
Product review: True through-hikers will undoubtedly hate this book. But if you, like me, fall somewhere between a couch potato and a trail god, you will love this narrative of two guys who fall for the allure of the trail, to be quickly smacked in the butt by the difficult reality of survival in the woods. Bryson has managed to laugh at himself, and make me laugh with him, as he recounts the Quixotic attempts of himself and his "Pancho", Katz, as they tilt at the Appalachian Trail with little preparation. I don't know if Katz is real or fictional, but I laughed out loud at his grumbling dedication. Excellent writing, with tidbits of the biology, geology, and Americana along the AT make this a roundly entertaining book. I loved it.
