About this product
Product Information
Now a major film starring Robert Redford, Nick Nolte and Emma Thompson- the funniest travel writer in the world takes a hike. In the company of his friend Stephen Katz (last seen in the bestselling Neither Here nor There), Bill Bryson set off to hike the Appalachian Trail, the longest continuous footpath in the world. Ahead lay almost 2,200 miles of remote mountain wilderness filled with bears, moose, bobcats, rattlesnakes, poisonous plants, disease-bearing tics, the occasional chuckling murderer and - perhaps most alarming of all - people whose favourite pastime is discussing the relative merits of the external-frame backpack. Facing savage weather, merciless insects, unreliable maps and a fickle companion whose profoundest wish was to go to a motel and watch The X-Files, Bryson gamely struggled through the wilderness to achieve a lifetime's ambition - not to die outdoors.Product Identifiers

The funniest of all his novels!
For me, this is his funniest book. Tears running down my face! He does his usual tangents here and there with statistics and facts but while I can't retain any of it, was still of interest. One thing I would say is don't watch the film afterwards. Massive disappointment after reading the book first.Prob could do the other way around though! Was kid of surprised he gave his blessing to the film but think it might be because they picked Robert Redford to play Bill! Ha!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
