Title: A whiner's guide to the Appalachian Trail!
Product review: Like a hiker on the trail itself, the author starts out energetically, but about 100 pages into the book, he begins to tire and gets cranky. The longer the book goes on, the crankier and more arrogant he becomes. Everybody else is stupid, except him. His constant denigration of his hiking partner leads me to the conclusion that I'd rather hike with the partner, than with the author. And he parrots all the politically correct notions of the eco-elitists. All that said,however, the book DOES give some good practical insight about hiking on the trail, if you're planning such a hike. But otherwise, this snob's graceless bitching and sniffing made my head ache. The AT deserves a much better book.
