Inspired me to book a UK holiday this year. Easy reading, you can dip in and dip out. Fascinating to read the dialogue with he people he meets along the way. Just need another lovely summer this year!

Should you enjoy detailed travel accounts (the kind where the writer relates his interactions with nearly everyone met along the way) or discussions involving why a particular society is they way it is, you may enjoy this gentleman's account of his long distance walk across a huge swath of England.

Per his introduction, he was celebrating his sixtieth birthday by walking and speaking with as many people as possible about Bretix and how they felt their life/town/village was doing compared to years preceding. The author offers many of his personal thoughts/viewpoints on how government policies, politicians, and the economy have changed citizens lives, often for the worst. You'll learn about the places he visits in a fair amount of detail as well as how (unexpectedly) much time he discovered he had to spend promoting his walk via social media took.

Overall, though not difficult to read, one does have to pay attention. This isn't a mindless trip accounting - the author obviously put a LOT of thought into this book.

A walking book a thoughtful engaging look at the people he met on the way.Fascinating and engaging to find out what people in England think about Brexit life in general.In the grand tradition of Bill Bryson a travel book that also involves modern technology such as Instagram that was fun following. A really enjoyable travel book.#netgalley # matador

This is a book for a particular reader, and I am that reader. I enjoy travelling and books like those written by Bill Bryson and Terry Darlington. In my opinion, I would have been just as happy if the book were written just about the journey without the political commentary about Brexit. However, those readers in the UK and indeed the EU would most likely find it interesting.
I love that this author fully embraced social media to get the word out about his journey. I thoroughly enjoyed scrolling through the Instagram feed as I read along.
I recommend this book to people who like travel writing or stories in the style of Bill Bryson or Terry Darlington.
