And this will go down as one of my all-time favorites. Also, I read the entire book in half a day, which I never do. For me it was a combination of "The Kindness of Strangers", "Into the Wild", & "Travels Across America". If I could give it 10 stars, I would..' (a posted Amazon review) ** 'I have read multiple books on journeys similar to this, but they never got into the heart & soul of the journeyman.
