Title: Great Story, Wondering What I Missed
Product review: A Walk in the Woods relays the story of Bill Bryson's escapades along the Appalachian trail with his old friend Cat Stephens. Bryson has an unusual wit and ability to mix beautiful prose about the landscape with laugh out loud funny anecdotes about life along the trail. Laced throughout the story of the trail itself are diatribes about the forest service, the destruction of portions of our native flora and fauna, and the direction we have taken as a society.I listened to the "Abridged" version of the book. Normally I steer clear of anything marked abridged, and I really wish that I had noticed that it was abridged before I started listening. In this case, Bill Bryson was the narrator, and he did a REALLY good job of it. It was a good book, but I wonder what I missed :-(
