I listened to the audio version of the book, and was thouroughly entertained during the entire reading. The book really gave great word descriptions of the scenery and during the 5 days it took me to listen to the book, I visited the Internet to look into further information on the trail, and on places of interest, such as Centralia, Pa. and Mount Washington in New Hampshire. Thus I was not only greatly entertained by the book, but also educated on areas that up until then, I was not aware of. My thanks to the author and the makers of the audio book for many hours of relaxing driving and a good educational experience.

Bill Bryson's humor was hilariously funny. This is a light read you'll get through in one day. I highly recommend it!

Often hilariously funny and occasionally frighteningly serious. His descriptions are vivid without being tedious. Read it in one day! Highly recommend.

I loved Bryson's droll sense of humor throughout this book. He describes the situations he encounters during his "walk in the woods" and some of the bizarre characters in hilarious detail.
The book was worth the price just for pages 132 and 133 where his walking partner encounters Beulah and her gigantic underpants. I laughed until the tears rolled down my face.
He also has a strong grasp on serious issues facing our national parks, forests and decline of so many wildlife species. Parts of it made me very aware of our dwindling resources. It was a real eye opener. For anyone that has ever camped or done much hiking this book will bring it all back to life.
I recommend this one if you want a fast and enjoyable read.
