I'm Off Then: Losing and Finding Myself on the Camino de Santiago

Dieses Buch ist wirklich ein Meisterwerk und eine wunderbare Mischung aus humorvoller Erzählung und tiefgründigen Gedanken, die man unbedingt lesen sollte. Die Geschichte fängt die Essenz von Bill Brysons und Paulo Coelhos Stilen perfekt ein.

Super Buch

I loved this book!!!

I first read ‘Ich bin dan mal Weg’ in its original German version. That was some time ago and enjoyed it very much. A few weeks ago I went to see the film, with Stressow as HPK!!I thought the film good but very superficial!! Thus my interest was rekindled in ‘The Jakobsweg’.In Amazon I found an English version (this subject). As I read the first chapters I was a little disappointed. The suddenly the writing became very good English, with an American slant, I thought.Now, as I near the end of book, I am absolutely fascinated with the story and realised how much I had missed in the original.I would certainly recommend it to all. ‘A Jolly Good Read’. I would love to do it as well, but at my age that would only be possible by bus!!Bill

I purchased this by accident and, after reading it, was very happy about this accident since I found the book delightful. The book has become a big bestseller here in Germany and has motivated many people to go on a pilgrimage. In it, the German comic Hape Kerkeling, tells the story about his walking of the Camino de Santiago as a result of trying to get over what seems to have ben a bad case of burnout. Unlike many pilgrimage books that gush about the revelations they experience while walking, Kerkeling feels free to complain and hitch a rode when the going gets too tough. His mediations on the trip are worth reading
