Long journey but it worth it.

I really enjoyed this reading. The characters at times were a little mature for their years. But believable because I've met s few. The feelings were really expressed well.

in the beginning of the book it says its a challenge, it wasn't kidding. i must admit the first few days were pretty good, made you think. later on as you get deeper into it it will get hard, but when you reach the end of the book the journey is well worth it. one of the BEST books i purchased period. im buying this book as a gift to a few of my closest friends and family members. this gift needs to be shared.

This is another adventure trek of a woman who against all odds takes on a journey that stretches her capacity for fulfillment.
Even though I found that I would have given up her journey probably after the first few days, she continues her journey to prove that she really could accomplish a task which would make any reasonable person question "what am I doing here and what does it all mean???"
Robyn's struggle with her camels and then her challenge with the "love of her life" her dog, makes this journey question was it really worth all the complications she faced.  Granted we grow by challenge and to take the time of solitude to help one grow inwardly, is really different from a person in our culture and the Aboriginal people she meets and tries to emulate in their dependence on the earth and the mystical experience of the desert and the night sky. Her struggles were really culture clashes and I am not sure if she should not have spent more time with the native population before she began her own journey. She might have truly imbibed the deep spirituality of what these ancient mystics really experienced.
I never knew if she would have finally completed her journey.  So once the journey began, one had to keep on reading until  the very end.  Sometimes, we really do bite off more than we can chew, and at the end, I feel that Robyn had done that.  If she had prepared more by living with the native population for a longer period of time, she may have learned a lot more.

Sally Quinn led an interesting life with opportunity and love in this go-round that many of us will not know. Sometimes it felt a bit as if she was bragging, but I don't think any of it was meant that way, and I tried always to put it into the context of what she was sharing. Her life with its travels, politicians, and celebrity was really true for her. But it isn't a life without heartbreak, and this book was about her spiritual journey through her life in relationship to life's voyage. I felt it went a bit long and repetitive in the end, but overall I can relate to where she finally came to a deep appreciation for ritual in connection to finding greater meaning in her life.

This will not be a quick read.  Lots to ponder as you go but well worth ever bit of time you can put in.

Real, imagined, or a bit of both...it is a journey worth taking with Paulo as he makes his way along the road to Santiago de Compostela.
Bon voyage.

I started it and it was rather confusing to keep up with what was going on in Toby's mind...  I just about did not push on, thinking it would not be worth the effort.  You know we have all bought the inexpensive books and been disappointed that we spent time reading something that was so poorly edited and constructed.  Yet this is not the case with this book.  And the stuff "streaming" through his mind gets much easier to understand and keep straight than you first imagine it is going to be.

I am quite pleased that I pushed myself a little further.  I became attached to the characters.  I was a bit emotional at the end, that does not happen for me that often.  Although the plot is not real difficult to see ahead in, you alway like the way you get there, you know the journey is as much as the arrival.  I look forward to reading more by this author and have already loaned it to a coworker.

Highly recommended...

It is so  breath taking the journey that the main charecters travel, but it is sooooooo worth it. Asher is an amaizing person that shows us hoy fragil and special every time we spend with our Loved one's is.  I felt that I knew this character and I really felt what he was going through.  An finally this shows other authors that you can write one installment novels and keep the story interesting by giving the reader clouser in the first and last book.

This is one of those books where you know the final outcome yet it's the journey that you have to take to get there. Sometimes it was really hard to go on reading not because the story was bad but because the grief and despair at times just became to much to bear. I had to take several breaks because my poor heart kept breaking for several characters and I needed to get ahold of my own feelings. The author has done a wonderful job of bringing the characters and their trials to life and it is excellently written. I've read the other book in this series as well as the two short stories that go along with both books.
Reason its not 5 stars is because of the deep feelings it inspired. That shouldn't count against the book I know but I literally had to take days off from reading at times.

An amazing story of love, lose, confusion and betrayl. But most of all it is triumph and growth. A lengthy read but well worth it.

It took me a long time to read (partially due to school I had to focus on) but also because it is hard to read.  It is well written but reading what she had to go through was so heavy.  But it was worth it.

This book takes you on an emotional journey that is sometimes painful, sometimes joyful, but beautiful throughout.

I love this journey in India. It is very memorable. I have kept it in my closet as a DVD, but will soon get it digitized. It is a railway journey, not that there is any one place to go. Its the journey, and what is seen and felt along the way.

Although I have taken a different trail, my life too is a journey.  I am finally awake...  Take a journey

I thought it a little slow in the beginning, However by the 3rd chapter i was beginning to find myself on a lovely journey, and not long after that I could't put the book down.

There are few words that can express the love and wonderment I feel while reading this account of one man's 2 year journey into the woods, and into the 'self'. It is a journey I long trek... I will NEVER be the same again, nor will I ever look apon the natural world without being reminded of something he thought or discovered. I walk away having discovered something profound with in myself.

I didn't rate this book 5 stars because it took me awhile to get into it. Once the author hit his stride, the story really picked up and then the ride became enjoyable. So you will have to slog your way through the first third of the book but the payoff is well worth the trip.
