Title: Armchair traveling at its best.
Product review: I found A Walk in The Woods entertaining and that is the point of travelogues. I read it during a 2 day snowstorm and it took me away when I was ready to go nuts. Bill Bryson shares his experiences of his decidedly wild hair-ish type expedition to go on a hike of a lifetime. Only trouble was he hadn't hiked like that before and didn't have anyone to go with him at first. That doesn't stop his determination and the result is hardwork for him, and enjoyment for us who would never experience such a thing otherwise.What it isn't: it's not a guide book for the Appalachian Trail. It's not a how-to-book for hikers; it doesn't have any maps or trails. It's a travel memoir, nothing more. If you are looking to do a little traveling in mind only, then it will be enjoyable. If you're wanting more hard fact information and details on the trail itself, then this isn't what you're looking for.
