All A.T. stories are interesting to me, and this one did not disappoint in that way.

There were a plethora of exciting moments in the story, which is why I listened to the entire book in less than a day on a long roadtrip.

It was disappointing only in that they gave up within a couple hundred miles of Katahdin. I wonder if either the author or his unlikely hiking partner ever went back to grab the victory at the northern end of this great hike.
Still, the story, while ultimately disappointing, was very, very inspiring and demonstrates that anybody can go for and achieve what others say is impossible.

Keep hiking!

...and for good reason. Been Carson, MD, has the uncanny ability to put complex subject matters into simple, everyday language. One quote, that was given to me decades ago came to mind several times throughout this book: "I would die for the liberty that I have enjoyed, which someone else has died for and purchased in my behalf." This idea was again confirmed in the last chapter.

Another thought that Dr. Carson iterated is that we Americans must stand against 'political correctness,' which is in reality a misnomer because it is incorrect and can be fairly easily dismantled with truth and logic.

Let us follow the logic so eloquently given us by one of the best authors and orators of our time, Ben Carson, MD.

I've dreamed of hiking the AP for many years. This story gets me another step closer to actually realizing that dream.

The author tells of the heights of elation in the victories, and the despair of heartbreaks and challenges in both the Hike and life.

There narrator speaks very clearly but it seems that he broke the story up into individual sentences as if they were each an individual story. I listened to this story at 1.1x speed and it worked well.

You will enjoy the story and be encouraged, whether you intend to hike the AP or just like a good memoir.

...on my dream list for many, many years. I have a few things yet ahead of through-hiking the A.T., which means I will little be 65 when I take it. The author's accounts of his experiences serves as much as an inspirational message as it does educational.

I truly enjoyed listening to this story at 1.3x speed, as any slower may have put me to sleep because the narrator's voice is rather dry while at the same time descriptively toned just enough to cause me to want, like the author, for the story to be perpetuated while leaving the challenges behind.

... I will listen to this one again!

I sometimes had a challenge figuring out which gentleman's words I was listening to but it was most definitely an excellent listen.

This is one audio that I plan to revisit at least once a year, of not more. 'Nuff said.

Although I've known for decades that there is no tomorrow, I just realized it while listening to this book for the second time. In fact, I have the printed version on order for quick, easy, daily review as part of the activity for my first chain.

... Neil Gorsuch was nominated and appointed to be a United States Supreme Court Justice. Some of the things started in this book were slightly surprising, yet not shocking. The character with which Mr. Gorsuch conducts himself shows on every page/in every minute of this book.
Well worth the time to read and/or listen to.

...listen again. Then follow the author's plea to get involved.
This is one of the best examples of clear political thinking that I've read/listened to.

...doesn't actually mimic what we've seen in the USA, one can easily make correlations between the happenings in Animal Farm and real-life political tactics.

To me, this story is not necessarily suggesting that these sorts of twists and turns are happening exactly as suggested but, instead, serves as a literary warning that every citizen of every society in which there is a politicised government should, no, MUST, seek to learn the true history and never trust the recording of that history to just a few people or even a few small groups. Learn the true history of wherever you call home; record it for yourself and store those records so that you are able to refer to them at will. Only then will the "Pigs" be prevented from gaining/usurping absolute power.
