COLORFUL!!!!
If you are looking for a fun, yet informative and funny read, Bryson is the answer. I have read Bryson previously and am completely taken with his command of description. His books go fast, and you just want to read more and more!!!!.

Steven Katz is a comic genius
His real genius in this book was choosing Steven Katz to go along. Bill Bryson is a great writer. Together, they walked the Appalachian Trail. Well, actually, together they walked the southern portion then Katz vanished for a while and he joins back up with Bryson for the final leg of the trip in Maine. Funny thing, when Bryson is alone and Katz isn't around it isn't very funny. Bryson draws a portrait of his companion that is utterly charming.

Katz can't keep up with Bryson and Bill has to keep waiting for him. Katz gets tired of carrying a heavy pack so he throws away all the food (except the junk food) and so on. This book made Bill Bryson a multi-millionaire. Everything he writes from here on out is solid gold. I hope he is taking good care of his friend Katz. He deserves it.
