Title: Suitable for an 8th grade reading list
Review: I just finished this book and want my money back. I felt like I was expected to write a book report after reading this. If this book is any indication, I won't insult my inteligence by reading any more of his work. He didn't even make it "across" the US in any meaningful sense of the term. In THIS book that is. For the entire trip west, you have to buy the sequel. Sounds like someone is milking a story...I do envy him his journey. The entire reason I bought this book was to learn about the logistics of undertaking such a long hike, as I plan on walking from the east coast to the west coast someday. Unfortunately he would rather write of his love affair with his "forever friend" and make up lame similes for every little thing he encounters. I would give an example, but I've already given away the book.In my opinion, check your local library or buy it in a quarter bin at a flea market. Any more time or money invested in this book is a waste.
Is the review positive or negative?
