Negative Positive
Title: Great theme, bad writing.
Review: Walking across America is quite an endeavour, to write a book about it another. The theme of the book is very interesting, however the style of writing is very dramatic which is a bit tiresome. Jenkins experiences are either rated as total bliss or complete catastrophe, and unfortunately so are the people he meets. The book bleaches in comparison with Krakauers "Into the Wild". I did buy the sequel before reading this book and will actually read it because I really like the theme. Hopefully Jenkins has matured on the next section of his walk.
