    The journey of a comedian
  

*by J***Z on Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2023*

When reading Hape's book, sometimes I found myself laughing out loud alone, some other moments reflecting about life and in some other occasion thinking about my relation with friends, and also God.I haven't seen Hape in tv but he seems to be a good comedian who really knows how to tell a good story.Thanks Hape for sharing your journey to Santiago.

    An Easy, Decent Read
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2012*

Since it is unlikely that I will ever attempt something as bold as The Camino, I live vicariously by reading books by those who have.The first book I read on the topic was Shirley MacLaine's account. I love Shirley, but her recounting of her experience---hallucination?---was way too weird for my taste.Unlike some reviewers, I didn't find this book to be exceptionally humorous or a 'page-turner.' It is, however, a good account of one man's decision-making process about making the trek, coupled with his thoughts/experiences along the way. His style of building toward self-disclosure (and how this came about) was also nice.Like a lot of travel books, the author had a tendency to go into detail about mundane aspects of the trip. Still, I stayed with the book til the end. Similar to what others have portrayed, his experience of the Spanish locals wasn't always positive, which is sad.Because I read the book on Kindle, the picture quality was poor. I assume it's better in the print version. This was unfortunate, as it looked as though he included some nice shots in the book.Surprisingly, the book came to a sudden end. That is, he was (spoiler alert) at the end of the trek; he got his stamp; and then he was off to catch a flight. At least from the reader's perspective, it all happened too quickly, with little of the detail that was included in earlier parts of the book. I would have liked to read more retrospective analysis on his part, but perhaps that will be volume two.Tip: Have a map of Spain with you as you read the book. Many of the towns and villages aren't on most maps, but it still helps you to appreciate what an endeavor those who do The Camino embark upon.Read the book.

    If you're considering the Camino, read "I'm Off Then" before you take off.
  

*by L***O on Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2014*

In “I’m Off Then,” Hape Kerkeling excels in describing the pilgrim experience on the Camino de Santiago. I read the book after I walked the Camino in May and June of this year. It brought back a plethora of memories—of a too heavy backpack, constantly aching feet, multiple rainy days of plodding through clay mud with boots that felt weighted with lead. And like Kerkeling, I eventually made two close friendships. We became inseparable, watching out for each other, sleeping in the same albergues, helping one another through the challenging times—and triumphantly walking together into the giant plaza in Santiago de Compostela. In August, 2015, the three of us plan to hike the Swiss Alps.There were moments when the pace of the book slowed, but that represents the reality of the pilgrimage for many people. Kerkeling didn’t have any life-changing spiritual epiphanies, and I dare say, many (perhaps most?) pilgrims today do not. He did have time to think deeply about some timeless topics (the meaning of Life and his own life, is there an afterlife, how he viewed God, etc.) and to journal about his experiences and thoughts. Again, typical of Camino pilgrims. He writes well, although I suspect some of his wit and charm were obscured in translation. I appreciated that Kerkeling came across as more than a celebrity. He opened up and expressed his shortcomings (examples: nonathletic couch potato, impatient with loud, opinionated people).The biggest caveat I would give a reader considering the Camino is that it has been thirteen years since Kerkeling made his pilgrimage. While much is unchanged, the number of pilgrims has more or less doubled. There are many more albergues and other accommodations and places to eat and buy food. A common remark I heard from repeat pilgrims was that even a few years ago, it was rare to find wi-fi on the Camino. Not anymore.If you’re considering the Camino, I highly recommend reading “I’m Off Then” before you take off.
