Title: misleading
Product review: While there were some interesting and humorous stories in this book, overall it is a bad joke! Bryson basically had a book contract to write about his journey on the trail. He realized he had bitten off much more than he could chew, so he spent most of the book rationalizing how, via day hikes, he really, well sort of, well maybe, hiked the trail. His attitude towards and description of other hikers and local folk was also incredibly ethnocentric! He came across as a New England Yankee snob.He did not even come close! Sorry, but his publisher should have told him, "hike the trail or no book."
