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.

Immersive and Informative

4 stars

Really great account of the ups and downs of long distance hiking both physical and emotional. Makes me want to grab the hiking boots and head outside.
