The Walk

Every now and again I read a really good book that I must tell about.  The Walk by Richard Paul Evans is one of those books.  I put it on hold at the library months ago
when it first came out and just recently got my chance to read it.  Wow, it is one of
those books you simply can not put down.  Let me tell you about it...just a little bit.
I had The Walk for few days waiting for a good time to start reading it and my time came at 12:00pm one night when I could not get to sleep.  Joe was snoring away in
sleepy town and I am laying there wide eyed away and miserable.  I shook the bed and tried to get him to roll over to no avail.  So, it was time for me to get up and have a cup of chamomile tea, and read or sew.  That is when I remembered I had this great new book to read from the library!  Oh for joy!! 
   I started reading The Walk and drinking my tea and at 2:00am decided I was going to have to put it down and get some sleep because I had to work the next day.  It would not be fair to Tania to be a walking zombie at work.  Plus I work with rotary cutters and sleepy fingers do not go well with rotary cutters...I know this for a fact!  I am not a fast reader but at 2:00am I was half way way through the book and made myself put the book down, but my brain didn't.  I walked all night in my sleep...it was a nice walk too.

  Anyway, the book is about a man Alan Christoffersen who goes through some tough trials in life and decides to put it all aside and take off walking from Washington State to Key West.  While my review may sound boring the book is not and each chapter is full of verbal scenery and life lessons.  As I was reading and getting near the end I became aware the story was not going to end with this book.  I was left wanting more and to hear about the next town he was entering and the people he would meet. I will be watching for the next book in the series with great excitement!  Another great book by Richard Paul Evans!
