About this audiobook
John Scott hiked the 2160 mile Appalachian Trail to celebrate his life. As a teenage boy in 1970's Scotland he was fascinated by US politics and culture. John explores this fascination as he hikes through 14 States from Georgia to Maine. Over miles and months, he realises it is the land and people which now captivates him. To The Woods is a walk through a man's life.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5This was a difficult audiobook to get through. The tone with which the author reads lacks any variety. At times I feel he is just reading a diary entry to himself. It is also difficult to get past the authors preconceived stereotypes of the UNited States, and his hatred of our political system (a bit odd that he brings these things up so often). I listened to this as research for my thru hike of the Appalachian trail. I got out of it what I needed, but could have discovered it elsewhere.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great narration. It is a realistic depiction of life on a long trail, physically and psychologically. I liked his flexibility with the route and admired his determination to complete it despite obvious physical suffering. As a non-US citizen, his observations of US culture were interesting. Considering this was written in 2000, it would be fascinating to read what he thinks of how the country has evolved since then.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Good story. I got used to his accent and moved his story.
