Narration Toward Books Random Walk
It begins in the Pacific Northwest. Guthrie decides to take a walk. He doesn't know how far he's going or where he's going. A journey of any length begins with a single step and Guthrie takes it, facing east.
Wonderful things happen as he walks. He begins to draw people to him. The group grows and walks and heals.
The random walk: It never ends, it just changes; it is not the destination which matters, but the journey.

A hard book to categorize, and even harder to write about. I need to let this one ferment a bit, I'm not sure what to make of it, I'm writing this moments after finishing it. It's the second book I've read about long walks in the past 6 months. That wasn't by design, it just sort of happened. The first was "Wanderers," about another group that inexplicably starts to walk across the country. The two books are much, much, different beyond that one similarity the Wanderers being more genre ScienceThis is an early work from Lawrence Block that has been reissued. A thought-provoking story that really makes you think about the power that people can have when they come together for the good of human kind. 5 out of 10.
There is no genre that I can think of where this book fits, but I love it regardless. It's weird, quirky, hippy-love style might not appeal to some, especially when put together with the diary of a serial killer, but I'm thinking, "What more could you ask for?"
This is an odd one. Guthrie hears a voice one day telling him to go for a walk, so he packs in his normal life and sets out across America on foot, soon acquiring a following. Meanwhile, a serial killer goes into high gear slaughtering women. Miracles begin to occur on the walk. When the serial killer plot comes into play, things do not go as expected. Odd fabular speculation about human consciousness and conscience, though stylistically prime Block.
Talk about a walk on the wild side!
Interesting at the start but became repetitive. But worse, the ending was terrible. ***Spoiler Alert***A vicious serial killer of women ends up being given a pass and faces no consequences at all for his horrible crimes. Worse, the so called good characters are aware of this and just accept him into their group with full forgiveness.
NOT recommended. This is a book about murdering women. The author has written horrific, graphic details about torturing and murdering women. He describes acts and fantasies of torturing and murdering women throughout the book. In one sentence, when the author explains that the murderer decided to stop raping his victims, the author uses the word partners to refer to the rape and murder victims. There is not a single moral, point, message, nor lesson contained in these pages that could make it
