This is a read that had me torn. I really enjoy the premise and I think that the end journey for the main character is a beautiful arc. However, my main issue with this book is that while the message was great, there were times where I would find myself listening and kind of drifting off. Not sure if it was due to the slow and calm delivery or if some of the parts were just a little dull. But with that being said, when things were clicking it was really good! I would say maybe the story of 1 and a half of the people he met was slow but the other three and a half and the intro were great! Worth a read, just head my warnings going in.
