"I've started many books about the AT. I've decided at this point that whatever qualities make a good thru hiker clearly do not make good writers. Couldn't finish this one. Terrible. Poor writing. Inaccurate at times."
"Very inspirational to a possible future female AT hiker. Also a great story. She is not afraid to say how hard the adventure was and how many times she thought of giving up. Some of the tangents she goes on get a little old, though."
"Being a AT thru-hiker (someone who hikes the Appalachian Trail from start to finish) should be interested by itself. And when you're one of the few women to do it and you're thru-hiking with your boyfriend and the two of you get engaged at the end of the 6 month hike (not a spoiler - it's spoiled in the blurb) surely it's going to be interesting stuff?
Not so much. The book is short (under 200 pages) and more time is spent talking about the environment and issues relating to the trail than the actual experience of the trail. Which ultimately amounts to a rehash of Bill Bryson's "A Walk In The Woods" but with more success and a hippie-esk slant to the non-hiking parts, which all makes it less interesting to me."
