's review

it was amazing

As a writer, I really should never use phrases like 'lost for words' and 'completely indescribable'. But every so often, a book comes along that is so unique, so beautiful, so perfect that I know I will never find the words to do it justice. This is one of those books. There are just no words. Except, maybe... wow.

Laura Rogers I just finished this and feel the same, except for the ending. I hated it. I turned the last page thinking there was more.

Mark (Day 25 Cairns to Adelaide) Porton Yikes - those phrases I ones I commonly use Andy, but then again, I am a humble layperson. I'm kind of happy I'm blissfully unaware of the rules writers need to abide by - hahaha. Nice write up :))

Andy Marr Laura - personally, I liked the ending of this one, but I can totally understand your issue with it, and I'm sure there will be other readers who feel the same. I'm glad that you enjoyed the rest of the book, though!

Andy Marr Hey, Mark! I use the phrases pretty frequently as well. But don't tell anyone, as I'm working hard to maintain the illusion that I'm a genuine, proper, big-boy writer who knows how to use words good. 🥸
