Description

Unflinchingly honest, vividly told, funny, true, fascinating, exciting---Pacific Dream is all these things. John writes with a candor that's shockingly fresh and real. His prose is clear as the water in one of the rushing streams he fords. It's as if the reader walks the trail with him, and he makes every step of his trek from Mexico to Canada as exciting as it is surprising.

Started a little slow, but good overall, could use an update to correct formatting issues.

Mountain lions, rattlesnakes, and PCT Dragnet Badges, oh my! What an adventure brimming with excitment and anticipation...

Review by: Roger R. Fernandez on Nov. 23, 2010 :
Pacific Dream is a very pleasant, stimulating, enticing and thrilling adventurous narration of a well prepared 2000-mile walk from Mexico to the High Sierras and on to Canada. Though I found the beginning somewhat philosophically long, the author achieved for me what a good travel writer does: he successfully managed to take me as his companion throughout his long journey by reading his account with great interest and enjoyment. It is truly good writing that produces good read!

Review by: Sarah Williams on July 18, 2010 :
I read this account of a thru-hike from Mexico to Canada without putting it down any more than absolutely necessary. What a ride! The writer is a natural. It just flows. If you like adventure, you won't do better.
