from Thorndike Press
Customer Review:
This is brilliantly written in that it captures the emotion of the author giving the book substance. The narrative from beginning to end is clear.

Customer Review:
This is not normally the type of book I read,but I am so glad I did.It's moving, and amazing. The story being recounted is quite interesting.

I enjoy Mr. Bryson's craft of writing. His description of the trail, and his attempt at walking it capture the imagination. Never mind that he doesn't finish the trail; it's his story of his attempt. The descriptions are vivid. It's an inspirational read, and reignites my love of hiking and makes me... more info | 4.0 / 5.0
