Title: Almost 5 stars but Lynn didn't thru hike. Only reported.
Product review: This book is a mish-mash of stories about thru hikers from Georgia to Main. The author did not actually thru hike but hopped between points - Interviewing and keeping up with certain individuals along the way. When I first started reading the book I was a bit disappointed. You get the feeling of being a dispassionate observer watching a carnival of naive rookies about to "hit the trail" for a fun time. But as the book progresses the feeling becomes more serious and moving. I would recommend reading Jim Coplan's "Wild Bird Song" about his personal thru hike from Main to Georgia.
