The Walk by Richard Paul Evans

This is a really interesting concept for a book series. I really enjoyed this first installment, but I'm not exactly running right out to find the rest of the series. Not sure if they are on audiobook, anyway, so in the middle of a pandemic, that is limiting.
The characters are mostly believable and the use of the fictional Alan's diary as the "source" of the book is certainly unique. I'm not so sure that I would love McKele as much as Alan does. She kind of comes off as a spoiled, high-maintenance pain as described. The fact that neither of them could be bothered to pay their bills or manage their money is really odd to me as well - and it strikes a sour note to those of us to are forced to watch every penny. But it is essential to setting up the story...so I guess?
I might continue the series in the future, but I'm not guaranteeing it. Definitely has serious religious themes, so that's a thing if you aren't so certain about the merits of Christianity as a way of life.
