God only knows what possessed Bill Bryson, a reluctant adventurer if ever there was one, to undertake a gruelling hike along the world's longest continuous footpath--The Appalachian Trail. The 2,000-plus-mile trail winds through 14 states, stretching along the east coast of the United States, from Georgia to Maine. It snakes through some of the wildest and most spectacular landscapes in North America, as well as through some of its most poverty-stricken and primitive backwoods areas.

God only knows what possessed Bill Bryson, a reluctant adventurer if ever there was one, to undertake a gruelling hike along the world's longest continuous footpath--The Appalachian Trail. The 2,000-plus-mile trail winds through 14 states, stretching along the east coast of the United States, from Georgia to Maine. It snakes through some of the wildest and most spectacular landscapes in North America, as well as through some of its most poverty-stricken and primitive backwoods areas. With his offbeat sensibility, his eye for the absurd, and his laugh-out-loud sense of humour, Bryson recounts his confrontations with nature at its most uncompromising over his five-month journey. An instant classic, riotously funny, A Walk in the Woods will add a whole new audience to the legions of Bill Bryson fans.

Excellent!
I loved the writing style. The writer not only allowed you to 'walk with him', but gave a lot of history of the Trail and politics that shaped the Trail. I absolutley enjoyed every minute. I passed the book on to my grandson who likes to hike.

Awesome
This was defanitly a wonderful book. I was a little dissapointed, because I thought they were going to actually complete the whole trail. But even though they didn't , it was worth the read. One of the funniest books I have read in a long time.

A trip
It was indeed a trip. A trip in locale, personal relationships and time. . and humorous. Well written, a quick read and interesting. It is a book that when I put it down, I was looking forward to when I could continue reading it again. Learned a lot about that part of the country from the descriptions and about people who choose to hike great distances and in particular those who hike the Appalachian Trail.
