 Dances With Marmots
This was a great read. I love reading trail journals and this book was no exception.
You Can't Touch This!
A hilarious romp through the wilds of North America. Anyone thinking about hiking the PCT should definitely buy this book!
Inspirational Journey
Now I want to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. The story is well told, a real page turner. Well written, very interesting, and an inspiration for getting myself on a trail.
 Long on Kiwi humor; short on backpacking narrative and photos
This book was an easy read, but disappointing in its lack of photos and descriptions of life on the trail and destinations seen.
A bit disappointing
Although I commend the author for his courage and humor, some things about the book distracted from reading pleasure. This read like a self-published book (maybe it is) that had not been edited at all. There were no paragraph indents, and many sentences were run-on (strung together with commas when there sould have been a period). I'm not a stickler about grammar, but this was distracting and made it hard to read. There was also a problem with tense and scenes suddenly switching. For example, in a camping scene, the author would suddenly mention that he saw 3 bears while camping, but it turned out that this was referring to something that would happen several chapters later, so that during the present scene I would wonder, "Where are the bears?" Often I would hope for an interesting scene only to be disappointed by a blow by blow of each day and night on the trail (including the days where nothing really happened). If you can deal with the amateur style, you may enjoy this book.
