Weird Hikes
This book is actually more a memoir than a collection of hiking anecdotes. Though each chapter does indeed relate the strange, often surreal, sometimes downright hallucinatory hiking experiences author Art Bernstein has had, they also provide a spectrum of his life and American times.
Bernstein does focus too much on details of things like the species of the trees that were around on a particular to allow the narrative to remain consistently engaging--I often resorted to skimming through sentences and full paragraphs--though I imagine the true hiking enthusiast will be pleased.
Some chapters are obvious filler, but a handful are pure classic. This book certainly is an original.
Sadly, Bernstein's humor-infused musings on his life take a depressing turn in the final chapter or two.
It's too bad I cannot rate this book chapter by chapter, because then you would see anything from a five-star rave to a one-star riffing. Altogether, I have to say that "Weird Hikes" is just okay.
