A review by mackenzie_reads
Following Atticus: Forty-Eight High Peaks, One Little Dog, and an Extraordinary Friendship by Tom Ryan

adventurous inspiring reflective medium-paced

3.0

I enjoyed the first half, when Tom had his first dog and then met Atticus - his antics and them getting to know each other was funny and engaging. I also liked reading about Tom and his newspaper, their relationship with townspeople, and the beginning of their hiking journey. But after a while the chapters began to run together with more of the same - hiking, lots of snow and dangerous conditions, an injury (sad) here and there. The author continually pointed out that his life was about to change. I found this memoir to be a bit inflated and repetitive.
