This was a great book. I have been so tired of reading "non-real" stuff that I really enjoyed this. He even talks about finding a book on the trail after finishing his one and only book just days before. "I was delighted, thrilled, sublimely gratified to find that some earlier user had left a Graham Greene paperback. if there is one thing the AT teaches, it is low-level ecstasy--something we could all do with more of in our lives."

His discription of Gatlinburg Tennessee is exact. It is an eyesore that so many Tennesseeans think is amazing!
I am going to trade this book for another of Bryson's.

Got this in the mail as part of a Bryson swap - thanks!
Another good Bryson book, although maybe not my favorite of his. It has the usual Bryson wit, with a much larger dose of ecoconsciousness than his previous tales. The only thing I disliked about this was the conceptual organization. I found the narrative style a little bipolar.
