Completely blown away by the book, such an emotional ride, the closest a book has ever come to making me shed a tear, beginning to understand how humans feel now. I enjoy walking long distances, most of the time on my own and Rachel Joyce has captured perfectly the experience, the feeling of being outside with nobody for miles around. She also captures how much your mind works, you remember so much of your past without the distractions of media and it is always a great feeling when you get home to your family.

The writing is amazing, it drew me in right away and I found myself cheering Harold on, shouting at him when he does something dumb and laughing at his experiences and the strange people he meets.

Wonderful book, an instant classic in my mind and I can't wait for what she writes next. Feeling really knackered now, time for a cuppa I think.
