Title: Fair
Product review: I am personally familiar with the Appalachian Trail and disappointed that an out-of shape middle aged man would even attempt such a hike and then dump on its difficulty. Exactly what did he expect? He drove from Knoxville to Roanoke, missing my area entirely . . . missing the mighty Roan Mountain and its Rhododendrun Gardens and wild strawberry patches. The end to end walkers are rarely heard about today. Either it is not done or it is no big deal for those who do it. The last I remember was an 18 year old who set a record of 2 months +/-.His style is overall negative toward the AT but I doubt few people and none I have ever known, had the objective of end to end. As an instructional book it works as in "Don't try it". Otherwise the tale is one of pain and no discernible pleasure. After a Chapter or two the story gets monotonous
