Title: Highly overrated self congratulatory trek
Product review: Bill Bryson was ill prepared for a hike of 2000 miles heading north on the Appalachian Trail. His old high school buddy was even less equipped. I found the book boring and not at all funny. Bryson's writing style evidences an attitude of contempt toward fellow hikers and a complete disrespect for the rigors of the Trail It is no surprise that neither man was able to complete the trek. It is only fortunate that no one was seriously injured, the physically out of shape writer and pal or other hikers. I still wonder why Bryson wrote this book. Tim of Glen Alan, Virginia has expressed many of my reactions to "A Walk in the Woods." If you want to learn about America, read Charles Kurault. If you want humor, read Roy Blount, Jr.
