I agree with Joy when she stated that the asides are amusing. I like the way he writes to include lots of things other than just the hiking of the trail. If he was to write just about the hiking aspect, the novel would be very boring. The asides give history as well as a break from the hiking.
I also agree with David when he said that the “asides detract from the overall effect of the book in their sheer quantity.” The asides are fun and interesting-to a certain extent. The tidbits are not supposed to lager on for up to 5 pages. They should just be little snippets of information that add to the story and make the story go on.
