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
Helpful Score: 21


We read this book aloud to each other on a long car trip, and what a great choice it was! It lent itself well to being shared, and was incredibly funny. Mr Bryson provides a delicious account his personal trip on the Appalachian Trail, adding information about the history of the Appalachian Trail, some of the flora and fauna, and some information about the National Parks Service, of which he most definitely has an opinion. Don't let the information bits put you off reading the book; you need the breaks from laughing.
