Colleen H Kane –
I spent the day with the book -The Unlikely Thru Hiker An Appalachian Trail Journey. I treated myself to an adventure! It’s a heartfelt humorous tale of an inexperienced hiker tackling the AT while discovering unlikely bonds and lessons the author would have missed out on if he hadn’t taken a big leap from NYC on to the AT. I look forward to reading more by him. No pressure!:)

I just finished reading The Unlikely Thru-Hiker, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves the outdoors. Lugo is an engaging, detailed storyteller! I felt as if l were walking with him in the woods. His positive attitude paired with honesty was, dare I say it: FABULOUS. I loved how he described those he met on the trail, and I enjoyed the dialogue full of wit! Get this book and read it!!

I’ve read many AT adventure books and even wrote one myself. I have to say that Derick Lugo’s honest and often laugh-out-loud account of his thru hike is a wonderful break from the real world and a nice transport onto the Appalachian Trail.
