But for Bryson it also offered an opportunity for humor and irony as he learned the trail's hard lessons about self-reliance. He persuaded his friend Stephen Katz to join him, and through the weeks and months on the trail these two pioneers get in touch with a lot more than just life on the trail. "The Appalachian Trail consists of some five million steps, and Bryson seems to coax a laugh out of every one he traverses." (Kirkus Reviews) All the while yearning for cream sodas and hot showers, Bill Bryson and hiking partner risk snake bites, bear attacks and more while walking the 2,100-mile Appalachian Trail.« less
