PRAISE FOR A WALK IN THE WOODS
“[Bryson is] great company from the start—a lumbering, droll, neatnik intellectual who comes off as equal parts Garrison Keillor, Michael Kinsley, and … Dave Barry. … [Readers] may find themselves turning the pages with increasing amusement and anticipation as they discover that they’re in the hands of a satirist of the first rank, who writes (and walks) with Chaucerian brio.”
—NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
“The Appalachian Trail … consists of some five million steps, and Bryson manages to coax a laugh, and often an unexpectedly startling insight, out of every one he traverses…It is hard not to grin idiotically through all 304 pages … sheer comic entertainment.”
—KIRKUS REVIEWS
“Bill Bryson is an extremely funny man; the Appalachian Trail is an exceedingly magnificent place; and together they have created an exceedingly fine book. Also, it weighs less than a pound, which is important if you’re packing for a long hike.”
—BILL MCKIBBEN
“Short of doing it yourself, the best way of escaping into nature is to read a book like Bill Bryson’s latest, A WALK IN THE WOODS. … [It is] a funny book, full of dry humor in the Native American grain. It is also a serious book. … The reader … is rarely anything but exhilarated.”

—PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review)

—BOSTON GLOBE
“This is a seriously funny book. … Bryson also writes most beautifully about the loveliness of the forest and the mountains. … [He is] a natural wonder.”
—SUE TOWNSEND, SUNDAY TIMES (UK)
“In a style somewhere between that of Mark Twain and Robert Benchley, Bryson recounts enough episodes and snappy repartee among Katz, himself, and folks they meet on and off the trail to provide laugh-out-loud passages.”
—ST. PETERSBURG TIMES
“Terribly misguided, and terribly funny tale of adventure. … The yarn is choke-on-your-coffee funny.”
—WASHINGTON POST
“Nobody has written anything like this book. It’s funny—so funny I was laughing out loud and reading passages to anyone who would listen.”
—PROVIDENCE JOURNAL-BULLETIN
“A tasty treat.”
—NEW YORK NEWSDAY
“Engaging [and] delightful.”
—PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER
