Title: Don't buy this book It starts very strong finishes very weak
Product review: This book is quite amusing until Bryson betrays his readers by getting off the trail. I thought I was going to read the reflections of a thru hiker and I felt misled not only by the book but also by the pre-publication promotion of the book which led you to believe he did. It reads like Bryson actually runs out of things to say once he has quit hiking but still has 100 pages to fill as part of his contract with his publisher. I would not have bought the book if I knew so much of it was him DRIVING????? to various parts of the trail and remarking on what was there. Hell , I can do that myself. The first 100 pages are laugh out loud hoot but most of the rest is disposable filler material. Don't buy this book, borrow it and send its author and the publisher a message about putting out half finished writing and misleading the public. I wonder what the author has to say about how his readership has been misled?
