Description

Product Description

The Appalachian Trail trail stretches from Georgia to Maine and covers some of the most breathtaking terrain in America–majestic mountains, silent forests, sparking lakes. If you’re going to take a hike, it’s probably the place to go. And Bill Bryson is surely the most entertaing guide you’ll find. He introduces us to the history and ecology of the trail and to some of the other hardy (or just foolhardy) folks he meets along the way–and a couple of bears. Already a classic, A Walk in the Woods will make you long for the great outdoors (or at least a comfortable chair to sit and read in).

Bill Bryson is a great writer. His real genius in this book was choosing Steven Katz to go along. Together, they walked the Appalachian Trail. Well, actually, together they walked the southern portion then Katz vanished for a while and he joins back up with Bryson for the final leg of the trip in Maine. Funny thing, when Bryson is alone and Katz isn't around it isn't very funny. Bryson draws a portrait of his companion that is utterly charming.

Katz can't keep up with Bryson and Bill has to keep waiting for him. Katz gets tired of carrying a heavy pack so he throws away all the food (except the junk food) and so on. This book made Bill Bryson a multi-millionaire. Everything he writes from here on out is solid gold. I hope he is taking good care of his friend Katz. He deserves it.
