Book Review of A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail

A Walk in the Woods:  Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail
reviewed on + 9 more book reviews


Good read. I took it more as a personal journal vs a "how to" make the difficult journey. Bryson makes it clear that he was not in the best of shape to conquer the trek. Notable is how he continued the journey after several hiatus' solo and with company. Some reviews I read on this site seemed miffed that he didn't take the arduous hike as seriously as they did. However, everyone's adventure can be done for various reasons and outcomes.
