I loved that book up until…
Bryson quit the AT. It was definitely a let down and I understand why he did it, but never could get over that.

He was never hiking the full AT to begin with. It doesn’t read true to anyone who has hiked the AT, or spent time with folks on the AT. I still contend that the vast majority was made up and/or he never intended to hike end-to-end.
Frankly, his time off the AT was nonsensical and factually incorrect in several places.
