I listened this on a long solo road trip and was laughing hysterically throughout the trip. I then insisted that my family listen to it on another road trip -- they loved it. However, it is PG-13 due to his buddy's profanity during his hike -- which are some of the funnier moments of this book, so I don't recommend it for families with small children. Not only does Bill Bryson share his own personal experiences, but he includes quite a bit of information about the Appalachian Trail which is really interesting. I highly recommend this and all of Bill Bryson's travel books -- I'm a huge fan.

This (audiobook) is just wonderful. If you are a nature lover and have any interest in hiking and the great outdoors you will probably like this one. Enfolds a dream of hiking the AT with humor, interesting facts and even history. Well written and fun to listen to. There was a lot more to this one than I expected because there is so much more to this than just his own story. There is a lot of interesting information about the AT, it's flora and fauna and the impact that humans have had on it. You get a little history and hear about some crime. Adventurous and easy to love, easy to laugh with. Also plenty off offbeat characters to laugh at. I usually prefer books by women but this one was a wonderful surprise.
This book makes me want to put on some good walking shoes and hit the trails for an adventure (with a big knife, just in case :)
