Title: A good half book
Product review: I can deal with the fact that Bryson did not walk the entire Trail. This does not mean it should be a bad book. In fact, the most humerous parts of the book are those with his friend, Stephen Katz. However, half way into the book, the narrative turns into a grandstand for Bryson to unload all his problems with Americans and the Environment. When this happens, just turn the pages to where he picks up the Trail with Katz. Another unappealing aspect: Bryson has a very "The National Park Service is Stupid" stance, which is unfair and rather boorish. Leave the Park Service alone; they have a very large, important job to do with very little bugetary support. Where was the editor when these diatributes against the Park Service (which run for pages) were printed?
