The Hike by Drew Magary
5.0
adventurous dark emotional funny inspiring mysterious reflective sad tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A surreal, emotional, magical, vast and fantastical odyssey (that also serves a hilarious piece of psychological horror) into the mind of man and his psyche. You learn everything about Ben and his family and what made him the man he is today. Every page had me hooked on Ben’s journey and by the time you finish it you feel apart of Ben, you’ve lived a whole life with him. 

Every character beamed with unique quirks and qualities and although some parts of the book were predictable in the best way possible, other parts were not. 

One of the best books I’ve ever read and will still with me for a long time to come.
