Product Information
The Appalachian Trail covers 14 states, and over 2,000 miles. It stretches along the East Coast of the United States, from Maine in the north to Georgia in the south. It is famous for being the longest continuous footpath in the world. (Compare this with the Pennine Way, which is a mere 250 miles long.) It snakes through some of the wildest and most spectacular landscapes in America, as well as through some of its most poverty-stricken and primitive backwoods areas - Redneck country - Moonshine, Lil' Abner, there's bears in them thar hills. Remember the film Deliverance? od only knows what possessed Bill Bryson, a reluctant adventurer if ever there was one, to undertake this gruelling hike. Perhaps it was just a long-held ambition to lose weight- he has lost two stone so far. As he recently wrote from the trail to his publisher- Speaking of vigorous exercise, boy have I just had some. Maine was a bitch. I want you to come back and walk it with me so that when you die if you go to hell you will be able to say- Call this hell? Try walking across Maine in August. ' eared in the tradition of Mark Twain, James Thurber and S.J. Perelman, Bryson used his many years in Britain to soakProduct Identifiers

Best title in Bill's travel books. It made a great film with Robert Redford and Nick Nolte
This has got to be Bill's funniest book so far, Great dialogues between the author and his somewhat lazy friend Katz. Also the characters he meets a long the walk are truly hilariousVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A GOOD, FUNNY READ
I WATCHED THE FILM FIRST WHICH STARRED ROBERT REDFORD AND NICK NOLTE SO ESTABLISHED A PHYSICAL IMAGE OF THE CHARACTERS WHILST READING. THE BOOK IS SO MUCH BETTER AND FUNNIER, BUT THE FILM IS A PANORAMIC SCENIC TREAT FOR THE EYES SO, DO BOTH.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

One of Bill Bryson's best
I'm a recent convert to Bill Bryson's books after having been given his latest book for a Christmas present. Have now read quite a few of them, and I really enjoyed Walk in the Woods. He manages to write in such a way that he's humorous and yet knowledgeable at the same time. This book has a few laugh out loud moments in it as well. Definitely worth reading.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
