 Part Travelogue Part Spiritual Quest September 1, 2008

Watkins, an established author and traveller goes to Norway because of an accident he once sustained working on a fishing boat where he was helped in his recovery by a Norwegian. He goes expecting to heal the spiritual part of him that had been damaged and instead finds himself on a much more complex journey.
This is part travelogue, part spiritual quest and part memoir. I found it rather patchy in places, but never having read anything about Norway before, I now feel I know a lot more. It would not be my first choice of practical travel book to read about the country, but is undoubtedly interesting in terms of giving more depth and feeling than a regular guide book.
 Excellent! September 1, 2005

Such a good read I finished it in a day.This is a fascinating book. I worried it might be focussed on mountaineering, but the author is a dab hand at recounting humorous experiences while also illustrating the more thoughtful and mystical experiences of his life. Well worth a read and excellently printed and bound too (hardcover version).
Now its my turn! June 2, 2005

This book made my decision easy. And the decision was: to hand in my notice at work and travel Norway. I had always wanted to travel in Norway and after reading this book I became restless and spent many days dreaming about the north land.This was my first book by Paul Watkins and it won't be my last, he has a great style that captures the scene, so be warned, if you read this book, you may end up leaving home too!

I'm not typically a huge fan of travel logs but this was a pleasant surprise. If you're a fan of Paul Watkins (of which I am) the background given to his past novels is worth the read alone! I really enjoyed this book though, and would love to take my own trip through Norway. I like the way the book flows and enjoy the comparisons to past Norwegian travelers. Thanks to Mr. Watkins I'll pass on the prepared food when I do get there!
