Title: Like hiking the trail... tedious
Product review: I'm giving this book 2 stars because that's pretty close to the amount of the trail he actually hiked (and hated, if I remember correctly, because he only liked Virginia and the bulk of what he hiked was the southern part of the trail). And if the book isn't about hiking (and smoking and littering along a wilderness trail), but about rediscovering America, then he gets two stars as well. After reading this book, I would believe that Americans (especially those living in the South), are inbred, stupid and have incredibly ugly towns. He is at once arrogant and narrow-minded, somehow believing that he is the only intelligent being on the planet.I liked the first half and even laughed out loud, but it became increasingly tedious (much like hiking the trail according to him- I would have liked to drop out of his narrative like he dropped off the trail)... and it's not about hiking the AT, nor is it a fair representation of America.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
