Rating: Summary: Life lessons for everyone Review: "A TIME TO WALK" is an outstanding book. The author has a way of connecting with the reader. He not only takes us with him on his hike of the Appalachian Trail, but also shares with us the many life lessons that he learned along the way. I highly recommend that everyone read this book and I look forward to the next one.
Rating: Summary: Great book for everyone in your family. Review: A motivational and fascinating book that I couldn't put down. I read it at the beach in about 4 hours.This is a book for "winners" not whiner's... it will benefit anyone wanting to succeed in their "hike" through life and business. I enjoyed the entertaining stories about Jay's experiences with people, animals and "ghosts" he met along the trail - as well as the life lessons he shares in an easy to read book that every teenager and adult should have on their bookshelf.

Rating: Summary: A Time to Walk Review: A Time to Walk is a superbly written book that combines humor with the many struggles we face on a day to day basis. Jay's captivating stories provide wonderful analogies of walking the Appalachian Trail as it relates to everyday life. He creates ten excellent basic life lessons that will motivate and inspire you! The book is so entertaining, I literally could not put it down. I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it (particularly the Rat Attack story) and highly recommend it to everyone! Jay "Patch" Platt is truly an amazing man!!!
Rating: Summary: A Time to Buy This Book Review: After reading this book a person can learn so much more about life and the appreciation of life. Jay Platt faced death and conquered the almost impossible by hiking the Appalachain Trail. Jay Platt is a very special person, and I was fortunate enough to actually meet him. I read his book through a college course and my professor invited him and he actually came to our class. Jay is that type of person, he is just a remarkable human being. The book is wonderful and Jay captivates you through his visions of the AT and experiences. I recommend this book to everyone of all ages. It teaches life through all lessons and no matter how wise or experienced you are about life, you will learn through this book.

Rating: Summary: A motivational and inspirational book Review: An easy to read, easy to understand book. It's lessons can be applied to your upcoming thru hike, or that 5 o'clock deadline where you work. Jay takes you on two hikes, the Appalachian Trail and that trail that winds down throughout your soul. Any book that allows you to discover hidden attributes that YOU have, is a must read, in my opinion.

Rating: Summary: Not what I expected Review: Don't expect much trail experience in this book. Not a great deal of higher learning on the trail. The book reminds me of many of the sales/goal setting/motivational courses I have taken. If I wanted that type of book I would have purchased one like that. I expected more about a man who overcame illness and learned a great deal about himself by his time alone in the woods. What I got was a training class on goal setting. My rating is based on my dissapointment. Not a bad book if you are looking for another self-help/motivational speaker book.
Rating: Summary: A Time to Walk Review: Excellent and inspirational. Wonderful discriptions. Made you feel like you were with the walker on the trail. Also easy reading, short and sweet.
