Title: One of the best Trail Tales
Product review: As a backpacker with several thousand miles under my own belt, I was thrilled to read a trail tale not filled with braggadocio but real humility, fun, and fact. This is a great book for anyone who has hiked or is thinking about hiking. Bryson's use of honest humor made me laugh and even when I was not laughing, I was smiling, or getting angry. Yes, it has great satire, irony and foolishness, mixed in with some strong opinion. The story of Bryson and a friend hiking a good part of the Appalachian Trail is sobering yet inspiring. While he is not claiming to be a true nature lover, he shows respect often, and yet creates a read well-suited for those who simply want a good laugh, and not be inundated with environmental issues or perspective. It is educational, thoughtful and fun.Patrick Michael MurphyACROSS THE DESPERATE MILES
