I enjoyed this a great deal, but I do feel that there were a lot of redundancies. We get it, people who notice things are better off than people who don't. And yet that statement was made and re-made again and again. I'll recommend this to my friends, but with caveats.

I read this because I love the idea of exploring your surroundings and discovering hidden things around you, and the landscape history aspects of the book were quite interesting, but by the end, I was finding "the explorer" himself pretty insufferable. Liking to ride your bike around in areas where most people don't go is great and all, but does not actually make you a superior being.
