Commentary Supposing Books The Walk (The Walk #1)
"My name is Alan Christoffersen. You don’t know me. ‘Just another book in the library,’ my father would say. ‘Unopened and unread.’ You have no idea how far I’ve come or what I’ve lost. More important, you have no idea what I’ve found." —Prologue What would you do if you lost everything—your job, your home, and the love of your life—all at the same time? When it happens to Seattle ad executive Alan Christoffersen, he’s tempted by his darkest thoughts. A bottle of pills in his hand and nothing left to live for, he plans to end his misery. Instead, he decides to take a walk. But not any ordinary walk. Taking with him only the barest of essentials, Al leaves behind all that he’s known and heads for the farthest point on his map: Key West, Florida. The people he encounters along the way, and the lessons they share with him, will save his life—and inspire yours. Richard Paul Evans’s extraordinary New York Times bestsellers have made him one of the world’s most beloved storytellers. A life-changing journey, both physical and spiritual, The Walk is the first of an unforgettable series of books about one man’s search for hope.Specify Books As The Walk (The Walk #1)

I liked this story and the characters there in even though parts were a bit hard to believe. A short inspirational peek at the inside of a mans life as it is crumbling and how he handles it.Ugh! hated this book! If had to read another word about what this character ate during his walk I was going to scream. this series of books is a rip off...he could have written one well thought out novel instead of a trilogy of short over priced books.
I would rate this a 2.5 (It was okay/I liked it). At 25% in I didn't know if I would finish, but I enjoyed the second half more than the first. I don't feel a connection to any of the characters, and I don't understand many of the motives. Perhaps I'm different than others, but I don't kiss many people (friends or strangers) on the cheek or otherwise, and I found some of the scenes strange. The book "felt" to be written by a man, not just from the main character's (Alan's) perspective (who is

In 24 hours, I have digested the 290 pages that comprise this book. To some, this is no extraordinary feat. For me, it is certainly not the norm. I have read several good books over the years. There are books that tell a good story. This book is one of those books. However, it went much further than that. This book grabbed me and sucked me in emotionally opening my eyes to things that have been buried for far too long. There are so many messages that are conveyed as a part of this story line.
3.5/5 Stars!This book was a really quick read for me! Overall, I think the characters were interesting. But the story didn't blow me away entirely. I read this awhile ago, and usually, after reading a book I can remember small details, with this book, I can't. But I do think it's a great book for a quick read. Also, I didn't enjoy the ending of the novel, and I don't want to discuss spoilers but I thought the way the author ended it wasn't the best -- The whole point of the story and the ending
Every reader can take a lesson in life and living from this first in a series, easy read book. To attempt to see how our decisions and our actions, r/t our experiences in life can decide our future and ultimately can determine our fate in life.
