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
fog avatar reviewed on + 139 more book reviews


As long as the author stayed within the story line of his hiking the book was good, funny, and easy to read.it is when he strays from this story-line and starts giving biological backgrounds on trees and diseases that the book becomes a chore to read. I did not get this book to have a Civil War history lesson in regards to Harper's Ferry or a history on various towns along the Pennsylvania trail. This is one time where I can truthfully say "See the movie, ignore the book"
