This is the final book in The Walk series and it tied up the story nicely. As other reviewers have said, it is a diary and some of the entries can be tedious, but that is what makes it seem like a real diary to me. Like the other books in the series, the walk is interrupted, this time by his father's heart attack. Alan flies home to be with his father and of course, encounters Nicole. He finds his father's "family tree" which is more like a life story and he finds out a lot of things about him that he did not know before. It helps him to understand why his father is the way he is and how that shaped him as well. He has still not made a decision about Falene and has not yet called her. Kalaimai also makes a reappearance in this final chapter, with all her jokes and positive thinking. He again meets some strange characters once he heads back out and there are some profound discussions in this book. Alan finally makes it to Key West and makes some decisions about how to spend the rest of his life. A wonderful series with some tedium, some excitement and a lot of thought provoking ideas. I really enjoyed this series and hope to be able to introduce and share it with others.
