Summary

Where's the Next Shelter? is the true story of three travelers on the Appalachian Trail, a 2,000-mile hike that stretches from Georgia to Maine, told from the perspective of Gary Sizer, a seasoned backpacker and former marine who quickly finds himself humbled by the endeavor. He teams up with Megan, a sassy college grad whose indomitable spirit eclipses her lack of experience; and Lemmy, a cartoonist from overseas whose off-kilter commentary on the wonders and frustrations of the trail keeps everyone laughing.

Sprawling through the woods and towns of the Appalachian Mountains, the trail carries the trio through real and fanciful ups and downs ranging from hilarious to perilous. Much more than an orderly account of mountaintops and meals, this book is an adventure about friends figuring things out as they go. It's about screwups and solutions, awe and inspiration.

If you long for the horizon or to sleep under the stars, then come along for the hike of a lifetime. All you have to do is take the first step.

Great story of a walk

Listened to this book to and from work, walking the dogs and never got bored. I even rewound a couple of times. Highly recommended it.

An absolutely fabulous story but ....

I loved the tale of achievement, foot pain, insect anguish and bowel movements. Getting to know the characters and situations described in a way that made it feel like we are there. Not sure if it’s a downside or a character trait but the narration carried the same erratic multi tempo as the writers adventure. Overall.... if you like tales, you’ll love this one.

Loved it

I hadn’t twigged that he narrated it himself until the end as it was so good.

Fantastic book. I’m off to download his next one.

Shame about the narration.

The narration is flat and rushed in areas which ruined the flow of the book.
I think that with different narrator the audio book would be improved. There are many interesting points and ones that are lost.
