This is the author's account of his attempt to hike the Appalachian Trail, which stretches for 2,100 miles from Georgia to Maine. Bryson walked about 40 per cent of it - an impressive achievement. He is good company, cheerful, and always a mine of information. He has a keen appreciation of the eccentricities of his fellow walkers, and of his own inadequacies, and is enthusiastic about the splendours of the landscape. He is also very funny.
