Query: Disappointing

Terrible. The synopsis leads you to believe that this man hiked the entire AT and he didn't even complete 1/3 of it. He constantly makes offensive comments about people he meets while hiking (particularly anyone from the South) and goes out of his way to make devisive political statements again and again. I will say that he has a good sense of humor in some parts, but that didn't make up for the offensive parts. Very disappointing, I regret buying this book and will not be reading any of Bryson's other books.
