So you start reading this book ecpecting the writer to make the long hike and journey but... The book started slow for me and I found myself setting it down only to pick it back up a week latter to see if I could get back into it. Although I found the book well written, I was left disappointed. I really wanted to like the book if for the only reason the writer is from my home of Iowa. I was able to like the parts when he stuck to the trail with his side kick and made an effort to really hike. I know even as I write this Bryson has done something I will most likely never do, hike parts of the great trail. The book did give me a better understanding of how long and difficult the trail really is and for that I give Bryson 3 stars.
