Audio Book Summary

The Appalachian Trail trail stretches from Georgia to Maine and covers some of the most breathtaking terrain in America–majestic mountains, silent forests, sparking lakes. If you’re going to take a hike, it’s probably the place to go. And Bill Bryson is surely the most entertaining guide you’ll find. He introduces us to the history and ecology of the trail and to some of the other hardy (or just foolhardy) folks he meets along the way–and a couple of bears. Already a classic, A Walk in the Woods will make you long for the great outdoors (or at least a comfortable chair to sit and read in).

    A very rude, elitist author

    The person who didn't finish listening to this book, short-changed herself. It is a deleriously funny true story. I first listened to it on a long drive down the east-coast. Truckers going by must have thought I was crazy; I laughed so much. It certainly made the drive a joy I didn't want to stop driving. It is a well-written narrative of Bryson's trials and tribulations as he and his friend "Cat", on impulse, trek the Appalachian Trail. Bryson includes a lot of interesting history and facts about the areas they travel thru.But it is his own narration of this story that makes it priceless.Definitely listen to the 'Unabridged' narration; there is too much left out of the 'Abridgement'. I've listened to both and I'm glad I heard the 'unabridged' version first.

    My favorite book of all time. I must have read it over 10 times now. I pick up new things in it in each read, and it never fails to put a smile on my face.

    I was tickled first, then educated, and tickled again. A winsome read, but thoroughly researched.
