It was definitely a good read. Is a bit sad in the end, and reminds me of Old man and the sea. I read it all in about two sittings, so it had me reasonably hooked. There's a not a lot of complexity of plot. It's a simply book, with a simple premise and starts very quickly. It's a bit linear, but somehow is still endearing. It's very easy to picture Harold Fry, a helpless old man stuck in a rut, saddened by how life has passed him by. That is until he subconsciously decides to do something about it.
