I've read a bunch of AT books and this one is what I would call typical. It was rather choppy, too. He would be talking about having dinner someplace, then in the next paragraph he was off and walking again the next day. No flow to it. There were a few very small black and white photos in the kindle edition, which did nothing for me. If you are going to write an AT book, include photos. I was totally disgusted reading him describe in detail the pus in his feet and describe the actual shape of his toes. He was really focused on his feet. Not something people really want to read. Yes, if you walk the AT, I'm sure you have foot issues, but to go into such detail was really unnecessary. I've never read one AT book where the author shares any insight. It makes me wonder if anyone actually FEELS anything other than walk, eat, sleep, do it again the next day........till the end.
I liked this book very much. I see the criticisms in some of the other reviews and I can't relate. One recent one says not to necessarily look to him as a role model -- well, not once does Mr. Miller suggest others follow his path, on the hike or anywhere else. Hike your own hike, live your own life, I think he's saying.I sometimes walk portions on the AT while on day hikes in Virginia and Maryland. I have toyed with the idea of doing the whole thing. One thing the book convinces me of is, no, I don't want to do the whole thing. At least not as a thru-hiker.I appreciated Mr. Miller's story and his experience will help me on the trails. His personal insights will help me as well.
I got this and another AT book, because I wanted to understand the experience of a through hiker as closely as possible, to understand if it's something I want to undertake. I've recently gotten the bug, so to speak, and I just want to know - is this something I could possibly do? I live a pretty sheltered life, and I don't want to minimize this challenge - I want to understand it in depth so that if I do ever undertake it, I will have a good idea of what to expect and hopefully, not flame out.Of course there are a lot of choices of first-person AT through-hike testimonials. I chose this one because I could identify with the author in a couple of ways - my work life is one of corporate / office-centric work that feels restrictive and locked-in, and I am at an age where one might begin to question, do I still have the vigor to take on such a challenge (a bit older than the author was when he started)? Or might I five years from now?I did really enjoy the book. The author has a dry humor that just rarely shows through, and at least once I wondered, is he messing with the reader? I do wish he would have deployed it a bit more often. More than that, I was hoping for a bit more discussion on the practical side - cooking meals, filtering water, climbing steep sections, setting up tents in wind and rain, battling bugs, sleeping near noisy, smelly strangers, not showering for days at a time, and yes, going #2 in the woods. There are some mentions on these and other practical matters, but mostly they are not discussed in detail. Some might appreciate that, but I was looking for the nitty gritty of "This is what it's like living in the woods for months on end". One aspect that did get a good detailed treatment was foot maladies, foot leg/health, and footwear (all very important). Another was the more general topic of 'food acquisition' shall I say (as opposed to cooking).The book was laid out very well. The organization and chapter-heading maps did a good job of helping me understand the flow of the walk and the length of sections. The chapters did a good job of helping me understand some of the personality and relative difficulty of different sections of the trail, and a few of the many interesting towns, hostels, inns, trail waypoints, landmarks, and people. I appreciated the author's personality and how he discussed his motives, and aligned his dedication to his family to the ultimately somewhat self-centric decision to go on a hike alone for months. No offense intended to any through-hikers. I think it's also a grand way to show your family what is possible, and hopefully inspire them not to limit themselves. Along with friends, co-workers, and strangers on Amazon.
I kept waiting for some insight or even a glimpse into what the trip meant to Miller but it really reads like a trip log where he chronicled his daily hike with little to no description of his surroundings or emotions. It was interesting for a while - right up until I realized that every chapter was virtually the same as the last with a (slightly) different list of characters and states. The endless roll of hiker's trail names and the description of the rocks and mud on the trail all ran together by the end. I wasn't looking for another "Wild" but something besides a recounting of the daily mileage, blisters and other hikers would have been nice. It did get me motivated to try a long distance hike (not a thru hike) though.
I loved this no-nonsense account of a thru hike on the AT. It's very different from Wild, which I also loved, by Cheryl Strayed about her hike o. The Pacific Crest Trail. Both books made me feel as if I were there on the trail. I envy Miller for having tea courage to pursue his dream. I salute his wife for supporting him. I feel privileged to have been able to hike vicariously on both coasts by reading the books. I've been on tiny (more like miniscule) sections of each trail. I thank Miller and Strayed for letting me experience more of them.
This type of book should be required reading for every man and woman. Completion of such epic adventures becomes a major bookmark in anyone's life. One of my sons did the AT in 1983 and I am still so proud of him for all that he did to plan and execute this glorious, rigorous trip. I think it still gives his current excellent family and professional life an extra sparkle and he will always appreciate his accomplishment.It probably was one of a few events (and a VERY encouraging wife) that influenced me to decide to pursue one of my lifelong goals to retire early, buy a sailboat in France to sail across the Atlantic. No question it's one of the best life decisions the both of us ever made!My thanks to the author for this gift of joy, recollection and encouragement!
