Title: Humorous yet offending
Product review: I was really starting to enjoy this book until he came into the Smoky Mountain part of the trail. He described Gatlinburg Tennessee in a hillbilly manner. As everyone knows,because The Great Smoky Mountain National Park is the most visited place in America,this is not the case.He speaks of Eastern Tennessee as if he hiked the trail in the 1800's. It's funny how he found no problem insulting these people but did not like being questioned about the reasons he hiked the trail although he was a fat out of shape cry baby. (Sleeping in hotel rooms and eating at restaraunts) Well, I've given my 2 cents worth and can see that in this forum he has friends that rate the bad reviews as unhelpful. I see no reason that this will not change. Just remember Mr. Bryson, our "smarts" here in Eastern Tennessee may not be up to your standards but we never forget.
