March 30, 2012This book gets to the heart of the physical and emotional challenges facing any lengthy journey made on foot. The spiritual nature of this walk only adds depth to the experience. Travelers will enjoy and relate to the feelings and readers will enjoy the prose. Shadows is well written and will make you want to dust off your boots in preparation for your next adventure. I really want to know what happened to the “bed people.”

February 25, 2012Hi Carl,
I just finished reading your book and I really enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing your experiences. I couldn’t wait to read it every night while John was watching “Ghost Rider” or some other violent guy movie on TV. I was vicariously traveling along with you. It was great!
Thanks again,
Sarah
PS This was my personal email to Carl (above) but if you are considering buying this book please do! Carl’s clear and concise, easy to read writing style draws you in and leaves you with a real sense of the journey, along with its many challenges and rewards. A very absorbing book. I highly recommend it!
