I'm sorry for the low rating, but I have to be honest.
All respect to the author for having had a horrible life experience, and I'm glad the travels have helped a lot. That's not what the rating is about!

The book is 80% "I've been to location x, and it rained". 5% is "the history of location x is" (which is interesting), and only 15% is personal opinions and experiences, and thoughts by the author. It's just not enough. I've practically skimmed page after page after a while, because of the "saw x, ate at y, hiked through z" stuff.

  • Truly an unforgettable read - an unimaginable state of grief, and the process of rediscovering living in the world's small wonders
  • Feels like it drags towards the final chapters, but that is also the point - this is the stage where Neil is finally feeling able to progress forward from his grieving
  • Fans of Rush like myself will be happy to find that certain events and references form the lyrics/titles of songs on their following album Vapor Trails; and as a lyricist, Neil's writing is beautifully verbose
