Title: "Political Correctness" Detracts from Author's Hiking Humor
Product review: Bill Bryson is a funny guy, and his Appalachian Trail experience -- from his pre-trip hysteria about bears, to his rather lame rationale for hiking only part of it -- makes for enjoyable reading. But his relentless ranting on "politically correct" themes detracts from his vivid descriptions. I want to know what hiking the AT is like -- not endure endless cliches about global warming, acid rain, evolution, and how idiotic Southerners are. He's lucky enough to get paid for having adventures. Why ruin it with political rants?
