Helpful Score: 1

A witty, funny travelogue about the author's trip to Santiago, Spain, following the centuries-old footsteps of thousands of pilgrims. Approaching forty, Moore decides to take this pilgrimage as a way to assess his life--but he ends up being far more distracted by the complexities of caring for the donkey he takes along (in lieu of a backpack) to carry his necessities. Lots of rich historical detail about the history of the pilgrimage route and each of the small towns and big cities Moore travels through. If you like Bill Bryson's travel books, you'll enjoy Moore's almost as much.
