Bill Bryson describes his attempt to walk the Appalachian Trail with his friend "Stephen Katz". The book is written in a humorous style, interspersed with more serious discussions of matters relating to the trail's history, and the surrounding sociology, ecology, trees, plants, animals and people.

More educational than I expected.

4 stelle

Would have been 5 stars from me, but some of the stereotyping was a little ridiculous at points. I get that it was part of the humor, but I still didn't care for it.

If you are looking for an in-depth account of the happenings on the AT, this is not the book for that. Bryson does discuss frequently what happened when they were hiking and some of the in-between, but he also goes into a lot of history of the trail itself and some of the parks that they went through.
