reviewed A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson (Bill Bryson and Stephen Katz, #2)

Bill Bryson: A Walk in the Woods (Paperback, 2006, Seal Books) 4 stars

God only knows what possessed Bill Bryson, a reluctant adventurer if ever there was one, …

More educational than I expected.

4 stars

Would have been 5 stars from me, but some of the stereotyping was a little ridiculous at points. I get that it was part of the humor, but I still didn't care for it.

If you are looking for an in-depth account of the happenings on the AT, this is not the book for that. Bryson does discuss frequently what happened when they were hiking and some of the in-between, but he also goes into a lot of history of the trail itself and some of the parks that they went through.
