Review: A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail

A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail by Bill Bryson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I listened to this book, and I'm glad I did. I really enjoyed it, but I think it might have been harder to get into if I'd been reading it.

I enjoyed that the story, the people, and the experiences that all seemed relatable. I contrast this book with "Wild", which I really disliked because I couldn't relate to the author/narrator in any way. While I don't think I'll ever follow in their footsteps and do a through hike of any long trails, it did make me want to get back to my hiking of the Ice Age Trail in segments.

This was my first Bill Bryson book, and I look forward to reading/listening to more! I really enjoy his Iowa connection, even if it's been a while since he lived there.
