This was light, fun book. I had a good time mentally touring the Appalachian Trail alongside Bryson and hearing about some of the funny adventures he went through, often involving his hiking partner, Katz, who turns out to be quite the character. But I also felt like Bryson was pretty stuck up and downright mean in a lot of places, which distracted me from the content of the book. Basically, I got tired of his particular voice telling the story. But despite that, still a worthwhile book to check out if you're looking for a quick, outdoorsy read.
