I really don't understand the hype or how this won a Pulitzer. It's not bad, but it's also not great. I really liked the moments of travelling and the final chapter, but I honestly almost DNF'd like three times. The writing style makes it hard to connect to the characters or even the overall tone of the story. If you want to get bit by the travel bug or enjoy some great imagery, this is a decent read. The theme of connection and how Less connects to the world through his relationships was also very fun to ruminate on.
