Title: A "Ride" in the Woods
Product review: If you like "hiking" stories with a lot of car renting, hitchhiking and cab riding, this one is for you. This guy is supposed to be hiking, but for some reason, he just can't stay out of automobiles. I would have enjoyed an audio book about serious hiking, or a self-effacing book about humorous hiking misadventures, but this guy actually considers himself an accomplished hiker, even after quitting the trail. And it's all delivered in a condescending tone toward Southerners, the poor, The Forest Service, the Park Service the Boy Scouts and anyone else he doesn't care for. This book is supposed to be funny, and it is. Sadly, I was laughing AT the author, not with him. I can just picture this LL Bean wearing latte sipper and his fat buddy, stumbling through the woods with little notebooks, making enough noise to wake the dead, all the while keeping a keen eye out for a Holiday Inn Express. I highly recommend skipping this.
