Book Reviews of Awol on the Appalachian Trail: Second Edition
Book Review: Inspiring AT tale
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed this book, and Awol's intriguing outlook and experiences. I wish he had the time and desire to hike more long distance treks, simply so I could read about his adventures. Selfish I know!
The journey Awol takes us on feels almost like I was there with him. I knew he would finish, and I knew what the end of the book was going to be like. The only disappointing thing was the book indeed ended.
Summary of Awol on the Appalachian Trail: Second Edition
In 2003 David Miller, a 41 year-old engineer, quit his job to backpack 2172 miles from Georgia to Maine. His story is told here in Awol on the Appalachian Trail, an outstanding contemporary account of hiking on the A.T. It provides a vivid description of the Appalachian Mountains, the small towns threaded together by the trail, and people met along the way. Abundant photographs complement the book's exacting prose. This book puts the reader into the shoes of the long distance hiker, and draws parallels between lessons learned on the trail and challenges of everyday experience. It is entertaining and funny, insightful and informative. It is about liberation, motivation and perseverance. This book is for anyone who has ever wanted to break free from routine, anyone with a desire for adventure.General Books
