Book Reviews of Three Hundred Zeroes
Book Review: great book
Summary: 5 Stars
I normally don't have much time to read books, but this book grabbed my attention because of it's link with amateur radio (aka "ham" radio), which has been a hobby of mine for 44 years. But the book isn't really about ham radio. It is all about the experiences, and especially the relationships developed, while Dennis Blanchard hiked the Appalachian Trail. The obstacles he encountered and overcame on this journey are amazing. Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down and ended up finishing it in 2 days. Highly recommended.
Summary of Three Hundred Zeroes
Dennis Blanchard's Vietnam Era promise to his brother haunted him for over forty years. Finally, when there were no more excuses, he set out on the Appalachian Trail to fulfill that promise. He learned that walking in the wilderness can reconnect one with a Norman Rockwell America that at times seems long lost and forgotten. The difficulties encountered walking over 2,200 miles are easily underestimated and trouble can begin long before setting a first step on the trail. Blanchard's introspective demonstrates that bears, rattlesnakes and challenging terrain may be far less formidable than some of life's more subtle dangers.Three Hundred Zeroes is a Finalist in the 2010 Next Generation Indie Books Awards Contest.
