Summary: Entertaining walk with Bryson
Comment: Readers seem to be rating this book higher as it ages. Informative and humorous, it keeps your attention every minute. Some of the commentary on forest conservation, etc. is discouraging....Let's hope that situation has improved since the book was written, but that's doubtful, given the environmental record of the Bush administration.
Some photos would be a big plus. Viewing one of the great videos about the trail before reading is recommended.
Customer Rating: Summary: Awesome
Comment: Bill Bryson is LOL square LOL funny. Nobody,i mean nobody, writes travelogues like Bill(can i call you Bill, Mr.Bryson?). A Walk in the Woods is an account of Bryson's 2000+ mile hike of the Appalachian Trail with his friend Katz. Katz makes for interesting company and the duo's adventures are hilarious to read. I hyucked as i devoured page after page, wanting it to never end. Not to mention the insight i gained into camping, environment, history, nature and the trail itself.
Customer Rating: Summary: Hilarious
Comment: This book is hilarious and will have you laughing out loud at the antics of Bill and Katz and that does not happen with many books. It will also make you want to go hike the Appalachian Trail. I had my wife read the book and she too was laughing out loud. We both highly recommend it even if you are not into hiking or the outdoors at all.
Customer Rating: Summary: All Time Favorite Book
Comment: Thank you to the stranger that recommended this book to me as I wandered through the Cincinnati Airport Book Store looking for something to keep me occupied.
This is a funny funny book and I enjoyed the visions that Bill Bryson gave.
I have given this to several people of different backgrounds and they too have added it to their list of favorite books.
About a year after I read the book I was standing in line to check in for yet another flight, and the woman in front of me was reading and laughing...when I peaked, she was reading this book too.
Customer Rating: Summary: Fantastic read
Comment: This was my first Bill Bryson read. I bought this book while camping in Shenandoah National Park, and it's one of the best book purchases I've made. Bill provides a highly entertaining recount of his hike on the AT with his out-of-shape buddy Katz as well as very informative, yet interesting, history and science lessons. I really enjoyed reading the story and I actually learned quite a bit, which I'm constantly sharing with my friends and family. I've never actually laughed out loud while reading a book until now, and I must say that I was kind of sad to finish it. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone.
