Narration During 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." —PrologueWhat 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.

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 endingThe author did a great job of letting the reader feel Alans love for his wife McKale, and his pain over her accident and loss. He also did a great job of letting us go on Alans journey with him. The people were real, the places were real, and every thing/one was alive on the pages.Now I know we all have different ideas as to what we like and dont like in books, but really, how could anyone not like this book? I thought it was SO GOOD! I read some of the negative reviews that said the book didnt
Typical Richard Paul Evans ... not great literature, but always feel-good fiction with believable characters, setting, and a moral or three worth pondering. I will likely read the sequel(s).
This is an excellent book about a man who loses his wife abruptly and decides to abandon everything and walk away, starting a trek from one of the country to the other. There are many part of this book that resonate with me and I love the adventure of story. I do not know what personal experience the author has had but he makes some very true statements about grief. This is a physical and spiritual journey and the author is careful not to make it too cheesy. I have wanted to read this book for

This is the first book in The Walk series. I actually read the third one first and thought it was a true story of someone walking across the country. This book explains why Alan decides to walk from Washington State to Key West, FL. His one true love his wife has an untimely death, his partner steals his clients and Alan loses everything. This is why he starts his walk. This is the best book series I have ever read. I have now read the first three books in the series. If you enjoy a short read
I loved this book!The story is one that will resonate with pretty much everyone. Those that may be in a similar situation as Alan, or those that are not, but all are able to experience and feel the hardship, the rise to success and the desperation and unfulfillment. Its a story that comes from the soul. Its one of those stories where there are signs that are not heeded, bad and hurtful impulses that are given into without a second thought, good advice from a friend or loved one is blatantly
