Helpful Score: 2

Being a hiker, and always wondering if I could handle a thru hike of the AT, this book was a welcome read. I have read other chronicles of hiker adventures on the AT but could never really relate to them. I have a feeling this story would be much closer to what I would encounter.

Bryson is one of those people that you aren't sure you want to meet, or hang aroung with, but you can relate to his point of view. The book had plenty of details about areas of the trail and the experience but always told with a bit of humor. There was also a good deal of historical information about the trail and the areas it crosses.

I really enjoyed this book.
