Title: Trail mix gone soggy
Product review: This book had two personalities. The first was the laugh-out-loud, somewhat inspirational first half when the author and Katz were stumbling along the trail. At that point I was pondering who would play Katz in the movie and declaring to myself that if they could do it, I could do it. Then they left the trail. The second half was forced, with the author dropping in at points along the trail, giving up altogether just short of the trail's end, and distracting me with lightweight political speeches and screwy Civil War history. Somewhere along the trail, Bryson went lame.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
