A bit too light for me

I was hoping that this book would be a little more comprehensive but it is very light description of the author's hike. At 2hrs 20 it's a bit disappointing. I listen to audio books while hiking and I finished this book in a single afternoon stroll. Yes, it's funny in spots but still a wasted opportunity.
