To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.
His funny, wry way of looking at things and relaxed style is charming. It masks a judgementalism and self-sufficient outlook when it comes to deeper things. So you won't find the depth of Paul Mc Granaghan's 'Ego Trip' here, just a lot of flippant shallowness justified as a sort of consequence of some unconvincing teenage indoctrination experience. Balanced against this are some great bits of writing, nice insights into the camino experience, and some razor sharp observation of his fellow pilgrims. Some cracking humour too.

A Gerald Kelly flavoured account of the ups and downs of Camino life. A gentle, good humoured read for walkers and non-walkers alike by the author of the guide book. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Excellent reading that gives an insight into the highs and lows of daily life on the Camino. Most enjoyable, feels as if you are also on the pilgrimage.
