This was a great read. I actually rated it 3.5 but rounded it up as it is better than a 3 star book. I enjoyed the way this book covered a number of walks across America. I really liked the authors style of writing both relaxed and humorous. I thought it fun how the walks started as a family thing but quickly changed to lone adventures. It describes some wonderful places. For me I would of loved a little more descriptions of the land, trees, nature etc. I would of loved to learn more from this book. It would of helped me visual the areas more. Saying that I am still glad I found this book. It really relaxed me and I thoroughly enjoy the walk that was done further away from home that ended up getting cut short. I won't give anymore than that as I don't want to spoil the story. I also loved the cover and the photographs this book contains. It certainly added that extra dimension to the book. Many thanks to the author and publishers for bringing us this great book to travel around unfamiliar places from the comfort of our armchair. I will be looking out for more books by this author.
