Title: Good walkers don't [necessarily] make good writers
Review: I was disappointed in this book. The author is not a strong writer. He tries to compensate for it by being overly dramatic, which only makes some passages border on the absurd, such as worrying about the "shark-infested waters" while crossing a bridge over an inlet of Lake Ponchartrain!With a personal narrative it's also important for the reader to form a bond with or at least take an interest in the narrator. I found that difficult to do with what the author gave me to work with.Frankly I'm surprised this book sold so well. I agree with another reveiwer that "Blue Highways" is a much better written book of this genre.
