A Walk in the Woods-A Book Review
I just finished reading A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson. I've been wanting to read one of Bryson's books for a long time and I finally bought this book after reading an interesting excerpt from it on Amazon.com
The excerpt was a funny one involving the spooky presence of something big, possibly a bear in Bryson's campsite.
However, not all of the book is laugh-out-loud-funny as promised. Portions of it are like a geography lesson about the Appalachian trail. The book is 394 pages and there are only bits of it that are funny. It is otherwise non-fiction and an account of Bryson's trek through the trail with his humourous friend Katz and their encounters with different people on the trek interspersed with lots and lots of facts.
