Publisher's Summary
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. This is not merely a travel guide; it is a beautifully written and highly personal view into one man’s journey and the insights gained by abandoning what is comfortable and routine.

A Quick Skim of the AT
I found it best to listen to this audiobook while on long highway drives. The story skims along so quickly that if I got distracted for a moment, I missed something. It is less introspection and more "I did this, I met this person, then I did this" type of writing. I still found it interesting, but it wasn't fantastic. #Audible1

Redundant
I listened to this book during a long drive and found it difficult to maintain interest enough to follow along. It was quite anticlimactic and many parts were dull or redundant. I was unfortunately quite disappointed in the purchase. I read great reviews from others prior to purchasing so perhaps the content just wasn't my taste.
