Brilliantly narrated and a laugh out loud story!

Love Bryson’s wit & sarcastic observations ! The narrator is perfect for this and brings humour and warmth to Katz and Bryson’s relationship on the walk.

A heartwarming story about a bonkers journey. Just made me glad I wasn’t doing it and that made me feel good.

Brilliant writing style

Captivating storytelling
Found the narration a bit fast to take it all in and enjoy the detail, so listened at lower speed!
