Title: Real hikers, stay away from this book!
Product review: If you're a real hiker and/or you are at all sensitive to nature and the wilderness, stay away from this book. Bryson is a skilful writer, but what a waste this book is! His descriptions of nature are either flat or negative; he complains so much that sometimes it seems the main reason for the hike is to get to the next hotel; and yes, like some other reviewers have said, he comes across as mean-spirited towards others. His humour is too often the kind you get towards 2 in the morning at a drunken party : crass and unnecessary.
