Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have finished 50% of the book and I don't think I can go any further. I initially enjoyed the way the author captured the relationship between two hiking companions (and married couple). There are a lot of honest and funny descriptions of those kinds of irritations one has to endure when they spend so much time together. However, I have visited many of the national parks described--camping, hiking, canoeing in them. Nearly all have been seriously short-changed by the slap-dash approach they have taken to their visits. Virgin Islands National Park all about painkillers and humidity? Really? Try camping and some of the best hiking and snorkeling out there. Dry Tortugas overnight when the ferry pulls out and you're nearly alone with nature. The enormity of Big Bend with a night sky you'll never forget. Sleeping next to a stream at the floor of the Grsnd Canyon. The idea that thousands of people are reading about how it seems to be ok to touch things and otherwise think the rules are there for other people is pretty much my last straw.
