Title: Disappointing
Product review: Poorly written (maybe she just needs a better, more attentive editor?), this book is at least half about MacLaine's own hallucinations or visions or whatever. I read the book because am interested in possibly walking the Camino de Santiago, and only a portion of the book really described what that was like for her. Also, I found it hard to believe some of what she wrote; e.g., "I ate very little, only dried fruits, nuts and yogurt") Come on!! When you spend ten hours a day walking, it's not possible to subsist on that little food. Then in one chapter, she says she'll never see her friends, Ali & Carlos, again, only they reappear a couple of chapters later, then again she says she'll never see them again.At the end, MacLaine reports that she immediately flies back to the U.S. -- I didn't understand that, either. After walking all that time, why not spend a few days relaxing in Santiago de Compostela? She said she got on the plane, basically smelling like a goat. Nonsensical stuff.
