A beautifully written novel about an young man's journey, both literally and metaphorically. It has a wonderful sense of escape that forces you stop and question your own existence - do I really want to do the whole 9 to 5 thing? Is there more to life? It's not an idyllic, highly romanticised lifestyle, so don't read this expecting it to be nothing but sunshine and beaches. However, it does offer an attractive alternative to the hectic Monday to Friday routine.
