I really wanted to read this story, because my husband and I have been on the Pilgrims' Way in France and Spain. This might be a really good story, but it is marred throughout by poor style, grammar, syntax, and even spelling. When you want to red-line every page, it's time to close the book and read something else. Where was the Editor?? WAS there an Editor????For readers disappointed by this book: Read something, anything, by Bill Bryson Bill Bryson, especially A Walk In The Woods and English and How It Got That Way. Also read On Trails by Robert Moor On Trails: An Exploration.
Having walked the Camino myself I was expecting more about the Camino not about the author. There are brief glances about the Camino history and towns but more about him, people - mainly women - and food. Walking the Camino and not entering the Cathedral seems anticlimactic and choosing to highlight that The Parador made him feel like a leper when they gave him free food is juvenile. The only wise words were his epiphany that it was the journey not the destination that matters - not original.Read it if you want a personal journal detailing blisters, places he spent the night- no names given - and his personal relationships.
Foskett is wanderlust and admits it. He loves to walk distances, to see what’s out there and to tell the world about it. He walked around 1600 Kilometers in about 3 to 4 months. He really wasn’t in any hurry to finish this hike. (He took extra days off now and then during his hike.) He wanted to find the perfect walk and The Camino fit right into the distance and time frame it would take to finish. As he said most pilgrims start at Saint Jean Pied de Port in France, cross immediately over the Pyrenees into Spain and finish the hike in Santiago de Compostela at the Cathedral of St. James. Fosett’s route was longer and he would walk one half the total distance through France before crossing over to the Spanish portion of the walk. His actual starting point was Le Puy en Velay, France.Like all other hikers, he gave himself a nickname: Foozie. Women on the Trail flocked to him. He was never in want of a hiking companion. In fact, females clamored to hike with him, even for just one day. And, he never discouraged the attention. LOL. As a single guy, he certainly had his share of fun. You will enjoy the book. At times it is hilariously funny. At other times, you may wonder whether he will ever arrive at the Santiago destination, or even wants to finish his original quest. You will learn to relax, unwind, and go with the flow, just like Foskett did. Oh, and I should tell you he did get blisters on his feet, just like every other hiker. Eventually, he was told how to turn those blisters into hardened callouses – and it worked. Yes, he got lost once or twice on the trail, but managed to either find his way back to the trail markers or go forward and let his instincts correctly find the path again. There was one time at the last of his trip when he hiked way ahead of his female companion who never caught up to him. That seemed to be a scary time for Foskett. I almost think he thought his companion had deserted him. However, with frantic backtracking he managed to find his companion in a bar enjoying life – not concerned about him, at all. Interesting!Not all Camino travelers walk the extra distance to Finisterre. They don’t seem to connect this hallowed ground with the Saint and the Cathedral. A day or so later, Foskett, with his companion, returned to the beach outside Finisterre and stood on the ground the ancients considered to be “the ends of the earth†and looked out over the Atlantic Ocean. You will have to read the book to know Foskett’s final thoughts .Foskett said his next hike would be the Pacific Coast Trail, PCT, which starts from Campo, CA, near the Mexican border, to Canada. Most hikers who attempt the trail drop out because it is such a challenge. I won’t continue reading about this hike since I am still enamored with Cheryl Strayed’s book, Wild. However, if he decides to hike the AT (Appalachian Trail) at some future date and writes about his experience, I will be with him on his journey as an armchair travel companion.I am curious to know how, and if, Foskett will continue his Camino style of hiking since the majority of thru hikers on the AT are men who set a fast pace to complete the course before winter sets in. Also, there are no youth/hiker hostels on the AT, only open shelters, if you get to one before it fills up, as I read in other accounts. Also, a hiker has to leave the trail and drop down into a nearby town, maybe some miles out of the way, in order to get a nightly hot shower, mail call, and resupplying food essentials. This may be a problem for Foskett.He is a good writer who hikes with his head up looking at his surroundings. He hears the tractor in the neighboring field, sees the flowers along the roadside, feels the wind rushing around his body and lets the reader know how the rain feels when it peppers his face. I love how he sets up the scene through which he is hiking. I have even earmarked chapter #12 in order to re-read his descriptive passages. Is he an uncommon hiker/writer? Yes, I think so, and that’s why I will continue to read his books.
I don't even remember where I first heard about El Camino de Santiago, but I did. Being naturally curious, I started doing some searches on it and came across Mr. Foskett's book. There's a big difference between reading about something in a Wikipedia article and reading somebody's first-hand experiences about something - so I chose to purchase Mr. Foskett's reasonably-priced book.The book doesn't try to do too much (and I wasn't expecting too much from some guy with a nickname of "Fozzie", to be honest!). It's about a hike, a trail, a person (and the people he meets along the way), and what the experience did for him. There are no pre-planned adventures, not much of a plot, no need to create characters (the trail tends to do that without any help). It's just about some guy hitting the trail to see what happens, then writing about his experiences. And as the saying goes, life (or is it "truth"?) is stranger than fiction. It also makes for a wonderful book.
This was my first experience reading Mr. Foskett's boot. I became so wrapped up in the story, the wonderful characters and beautiful descriptions of the territories and challenges he faced during his trek. When I finished the book I was truly able to understand why people so want to participate in this adventure. While an entry in my bucket list, I know I will probably never experience this thrill. But I can now imagine what it would be like.Since finishing this book, I quickly acquired his other trail books and have never been disappointed. Keep writing Keith, your words and insights allow many of us to dream that we were there with you.
