Audio was good, I loved Sam reading it. Chapters were very long, even listening at 1.75x speed. He did a lot of complaining in this book. However, I can appreciate the distance and struggles he went through on this hike. I know I could never do it at his pace without complaints either, especially in the pouring rain. The best parts were Sam’s recordings from this hike. Sam shares his life story, but the only interesting (to me) parts were Outlander.

I enjoyed this book quite a bit. I haven’t read a memoir in this style- the perspective of a present 5 day epic hike interspersed with insights into his past. There were times that the transition was jarring, but that could have been because I was listening on audiobook and couldn’t see the ending of sections. I was worried the thick Scottish accent would be hard to understand since I can’t watch Outlander without the subtitles but it was actually lovely hearing him read and I felt it added his personality so much more. The only complaint is that he would whisper or drop his voice really low quite a bit and I would miss what he said entirely.
I really loved hearing about the West Highland Way scenery and history and would love to add that 96 mile hike to my bucket list. I also didn’t know much about his life outside of Outlander so it was nice to hear about his early life and his perseverance of his acting dream. I also didn’t know he had a whiskey and a tequila line and really want to try them now!

What a wonderful memoir. This was beautifully read by Sam Heughan. He was so animated through the entire audiobook. The audiobook also included some actual vlogs from his hike, which was neat. I didn’t know much about this man prior to this book. I’ve only watched one season of Outlander, none of his other works, and wasn’t too invested in this actor at all..But I certainly am now! His story is heartwarming, sad, inspiring, and the delivery was just so good, I really enjoyed the listen.
