OK, I've only read this book because I intend to walk the Camino de Santiago this summer, and I felt like I needed to read the book that made it ever so popular among many (already outdated) new age Italian readers in the 1990s.
I was expecting it to be bad, but damn, not this bad!
In my mind, it would offer at least some sort of inspiration (and valuable information) for someone wanting to walk the Camino, but I found more useful information in random blog posts by improbable pilgrims.
And the search for spirituality really grows old and uninspiring from the book's jacket onwards.
If anything, this book could have put me off from my summer walking plans, but hey, tickets are booked already...
