UK Kirkus review
The author of Notes From A Small Island obviously felt the need to stretch his legs after quitting England for the United States.A Walk in the Woods, recounts Bryson's hike along the longest continuous footpath in the world, the 2000-mile-long Appalachian Trail. And as you'd expect from Bryson, this is no dry documentary - the enjoyment lies as much in his hilarious turn of phrase and eye for the incongruous as in his meetings with moonshiners, rednecks, gun-totin' nutcases and wild animals.
