Title: Not Unabridged and Bryson isnt Reading It
Product review: Other reviews deal with the subject of this book at length, and I vaguely recall reviewing the book version myself years ago, so this is by way of a brief update. My husband and I checked this out of our library for a recent car trip. We have both read the book, and we both noticed things missing from this "unabridged" edition, despite its many cds. I'd like to know why it's billed as unabridged when it is definitely not. I'd also like to add that I wasn't crazy about the reader, but the reader isn't Bill Bryson, as so many other reviews seem to assume. Even with these flaws, the story is still a great one, although it definitely appeals more to those who aren't hard core hikers. Those of use who would never use "unreasonable" to describe a fear of bears or put "only" in front of a ten mile hike will enjoy this story of two men, no longer young, who dare.
