Waypoints: My Scottish Journey by Sam Heughan

2.0

inspiring reflective medium-paced

---

With my rating system being: 

<1 Finished it but wished I had DNFed instead. Several major criticisms.

1 Not the worst thing I've ever read but wouldn’t read it again; probably one major gripe.

2 Meh. No major sins but but don’t like it enough to buy a physical copy. It's fine. Just fine.

3 Liked it and will casually seek out a physical copy to have in my library 

4 Thoroughly enjoyed it and have no major criticisms; will recommend to others, read again, and consider a special edition version

5 ABSOLUTELY FERAL FOR THIS BOOK, will not shut up about it, will maniacally and immediately seek out a special edition and/or bind one

I’m giving this a 2. I primarily read this because I adored the Clanlands series, but I think a large part of that compelling charm is the repartee between Sam and Graham. With that being missing here, so it felt a bit flat. I think this would be very encouraging/helpful if you’re an actor looking for encouragement or a hiker. Being neither of those things, perhaps this would have been lost on me regardless. But! Sam’s voice is lovely as always.
