I disagree with Ford’s statement that the asides make it difficult to shift back into Bryson’s story. I have no trouble getting back into the story; rather, I find that Bryson’s anecdotes make the story all the more meaningful. The information helps the reader realize what an amazing opportunity Bryson has in walking the trail.
I agree with Janine when she says that the cultural references are interesting, but unlike Janine I do not think that the irrelevance of this information detracts from the story. I like the variety that these stories to provide. Reading the book is more interesting when more information is provided than just the narrative of life on the trail.
