I was only disappointed with two aspects. I did find Bryson to be sometimes over-critical and condescending toward various people, places and organizations he wrote of - which took away, rather than added to his adventure in my opinion. But I was even more disappointed when he revealed that he stopped his trek less than half-way, and then wrote about a series of fairly boring day-hikes on other sections of the trail. When he and Katz finally gave it up when they were barely into the 100-mile wilderness in ME, and before coming close to reaching Katadin, I was very let down. I had assumed he had written about a thru-hike, or at least a 2000-mile qualifier ... but this was not the case, and was a disappointing end to the tale.
Well Walked

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would and I have recommended this audiobook.What did you like best about this story?
Bill Bryson writes well, but he TELLS his stories with such enthusiasm, passion, and humor that you have barely caught your breath and wiped up the milk that squirted out your nose from one vignette that he launches you into the next.Which scene was your favorite?
That question has me in the same twist as "Which star do you like best?"Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I have so loved this audiobook, from the first time I listened to it with my daughter to the time I sat through it beginning to end to the last time I listened to it with my wife, laughing at Bill's episodic journeys or walking with him in heart-pounding anticipation of the next 100 meters of the AT that even after listening to this story again and again, I want to go back to the beginning and hear the whole of it AGAIN!Any additional comments?
I love hearing Bill Bryson tell almost any story. His strange, slightly nasaly, oddly "where does that accent come from?" voice skips along at a pace that keeps the reader dangling in anticipation. Sometimes he picks up the pace and quickens the reader's heartbeat with it. Sometimes he winds you along a twisting sub-plot, never ever losing your interest.In all the stories I have ever enjoyed Bill Bryson tell, his Walk In The Woods remains my benchmark; maybe because I heard this one first; maybe because others agree that WITW stands as Bill Bryson's best ever.
I will say that I have never walked away disappointed when I listened to Bill Bryson tell a story. I don't know anyone who can even walk away once Bill Bryson starts to tell a story.
The AT for the armchair hiker...in rapt fashion
