»Mit ›Windstärke 17‹ zielt Caroline Wahl lässig ins Herz.« MARIE SCHMIDT, SZ
Ida hat nichts bei sich außer dem alten, verschrammten Hartschalenkoffer ihrer Mutter, ein paar Lieblingsklamotten und ihrem MacBook, als sie ihr Zuhause verlässt. Es ist wahrscheinlich ein Abschied für immer von der Kleinstadt, in der sie ihr ganzes bisheriges Leben verbracht hat. Im Abschiednehmen ist Ida richtig schlecht; sie hat es vor zwei Monaten nicht einmal auf die Beerdigung ihrer Mutter geschafft. Am Bahnhof sucht sie sich den Zug aus, der am weitesten wegfährt – auf keinen Fall will sie zu ihrer Schwester Tilda nach Hamburg –, und landet auf Rügen. Ohne Plan, nur mit einem großen Klumpen aus Wut, Trauer und Schuld im Bauch, streift sie über die Ostseeinsel. Und trifft schließlich auf Knut, den örtlichen Kneipenbesitzer, und seine Frau Marianne, die Ida kurzerhand bei sich aufnehmen. Zu dritt frühstücken sie jeden Morgen Aufbackbrötchen, den Tag verbringt Ida dann mit Marianne, sie walken gemeinsam durch den Wald oder spielen Skip-Bo, abends arbeitet Ida mit Knut in der »Robbe«. Und sie lernt Leif kennen, der ähnlich versehrt ist wie sie. Auf einmal ist alles ein bisschen leichter, erträglicher in Idas Leben. Bis ihre Welt kurz darauf wieder aus den Angeln gehoben wird.

Camino memories relived
Format: Paperback
I returned from my first Camino trip and I was wanting to stay in touch with everything related to the Camino - the friends I made there, movies on YouTube, and podcasts. It was from the podcast that I learned about Brad. He has been a constant companion to me, as I went through my own Camino 'withdrawl.' Luckily for me, after a couple of weeks from been back from the Camino, I am already able to schedule my next one. Brad's book brought back all the memories, and he put into great narrative and humor all the amazing and magical things that happen during the Camino, including also the challenges, the crying and the laughing. I am very grateful for this book.

Greatly enjoyed this book.
Format: Kindle
His long journey of self discovery is well told, with sprinkles of humor throughout. It made me long to take a pilgrimage of my my own.

Soccer, Songs and Sex
Format: Paperback
Heading to the Camino myself....I've been reading other accounts of it, more so since my plans have had to be put on hold due to COVID19. I purchased a pile of recommendations from others on a social media site, sat up one night, researching the favorites of others. My list only had those that had humor! Brad's book has humor and I love that he, being a songwriter, utilized his talent for putting sentences together, creating a canvas of texture with descriptions, which kept me turning pages. I loved reading about his self discovery, his growth through his business, family life, athletic life, social life, and finding a balance eventually, although the reader can certainly see he teetered A LOT! The downside was that he felt it important to share the sexual experiences, of others and himself. TMI, as a generation behind me would say. It wasn't needed. His adventure was fabulous without it. If Brad ever did a rewrite, I would suggest he leave that out so more age groups could be inspired by his journey! It won't be the first book I'd recommend if anyone asked me what to read about Camino adventures, but I won't say not to read it if it comes up in conversation.

Definitely not my favorite
Format: Paperback
It was ok as far as Camino memoirs go. Not my favorite and probably won't reread/listen again, like I have several others. The author seemed to like to make fun of people and objectify women. I kept hoping there'd be some kind of epiphany, but the closest we get is when he is relaying a life changing conversation he'd had with someone the previous evening where he learned he needs to see the good in people, but minutes before he'd spent a lengthy time ranting and complaining and disparaging "plastic pilgrims." I listened to the whole thing because I was hoping for some redemption, but didn't witness any.

Buen camino !
Format: Kindle
This book had me hooked from page one. Brad writes in way that brings every scene, character and emotion to life. I loved that his writing style is so original. He is transparent, honest, funny, and thought provoking. I have had thoughts of one day walking the Camino, The only Way West has made me both terrified and excited to perhaps do it one day. I hope we get to see more of this quirky author. Buen camino!
