A heartwarming read
I decided to give this book ago on the basis of other reviews on here, and overall I'm glad I decided to give it a go as it's a rather heartwarming enjoyabke read.

This is very well written, and Harold is truly a character you can get behind as he's endearing yet ultimately flawed. Even Maureen too who you start off disliking, winds up winning your heart as well. The plot is a great idea and came across to me sometimes as an English Forrest Gump, with the pilgrimage across the country. There's a lot of heart in this book and Harold's journey takes you on an emotional journey as a reader. I felt rather emotional and almost welling up at the end. The end itself for me was fairly mixed, it was good just not quite the amazingly happy ending I'd hoped for. There are some frustrations with this story, mainly from the other 'pilgrims' and how Harold does/doesn't deal with these situations. But overall this is a very enjoyable and surprisingly fast paced read.
