2.0

I ended up kind of mixed on this. It's certainly not Kidnapped, and, Christ on a Bike, is the romance tedious, and there isn't strictly speaking a plot, so much as Davie just plodging around northern Europe, and stuff that was direly important in the first half doesn't get mentioned in the second half, and honestly it's just not very good, but also the handful of chapters with Alan Breck Stewart make me entirely glad to have read it. There are some wonderful absolutely peak Alan bits, and interactions with Davie that are both hilarious and immensely sweet. So for Alan's sake, I'd consider it worth a read.
