This book wasn't at all what I thought it was going to be, but it wasn't bad. While I don't care much for the flowery and melodramatic writing style of the author, his research and knowledge are outstanding. The book is packed with historical anecdotes and more information than one can really process the first time through. I loved how he wove medieval history with what he was doing each day. He really is a brilliant writer, even if I don't prefer his style.
I wasn't keen on his weird spiritual weirdnesses. He's very New Agey---citing strange thoughts on God or god or whomever he chooses to recognize in whatever situation. That particular element only got worse as the book progressed.
All in all, I thought the material was fabulous. I'm glad I read this and think it would be quite the eye-opening experience to make the pilgrimage myself someday.… (plus d'informations)
