The Story Telling is disjointed
Revisado: 03-12-18
What would have made King's Mountain better?
The characters could have been better connected. The relationships are incomplete. The reader is required to use their personal experiences to understand the interactions of the characters when Ms. MCrump could have supplied them.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
The narrator's voice was pleasant, cadence was appropriate and tone was consistent. He read what was presented, but it lacked the human details necessary to make characters come alive.
What character would you cut from King's Mountain?
I don't know. None of them were fleshed out enough for me to understand them.

In 2003, software engineer David Miller left his job, family, and friends to hike 2,172 miles of the Appalachian Trail. AWOL on the Appalachian Trail is Miller’s account of this thru-hike from Georgia to Maine. Listeners are treated to rich descriptions of the Appalachian Mountains, the isolation and reverie, the inspiration that fueled his quest, and the rewards of taking a less conventional path through life. While this book abounds with introspection and perseverance, it also provides useful passages about hiking gear and planning.

From an AT sectional hiker's perspective
Revisado: 03-11-17
The narrative has a lot to offer to potential Appalachian Trail thru hikers...the trail's peculiarities in people, the terrain's ups and downs, and the hiker's mood swings (the other ups and downs) are well described. His description of the trail, it's events, and the personalities of the other hikers...from the parts that I have experienced...are true to life. For many the AT is where the idyllic nature meets real nature; some adapt, while others succumb to it's often harsh reality. Miller's story is of adaptation and becoming one with the AT's reality and culture.
Christopher Lane's narration is not particularly good, but it was good enough to keep me listening. WD
