![]() ![]() Ben ends up running away, stumbling upon a campsite among the trees, and suddenly he is in his twenties again, staring into the face of his old college girlfriend. Before long, he is beset upon by hulking man wearing the skinned-off face of a dog as a mask. He sets off into the nearby woods, following a path he has chosen. Before heading out to his dinner meeting though, he decides to explore around the area with a short hike. ![]() Can you blame me, though? I don’t even how I’ll do my usual novel summary for this review, because pretty sure anything I say will sound like the mad ramblings of someone on a bad acid trip, but here goes nothing:īen is a suburban middle-aged family man who takes a business trip up to rural Pennsylvania and books himself into his hotel. The best description I can come up with for my mind-bending experience I had with this book can be summed up in the words of Jerry Garcia: “What a long, strange trip it’s been.” I had initially agreed to review The Hike with no small amount of trepidation, fearing that it might be too “weird” for my tastes. A review copy was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. ![]()
