![]() This might have been why things went so spectacularly wrong with all the relationships prior to the pilgrimage. Overall we felt that there had been a general lack of communication with the family, both between Harold and his wife, and also between them and their son. ![]() We felt that her friendship with Rex gave her an insight into Harolds friendship with Queenie, it made her step outside the comfort of her own home and think about things other than her son. She certainly changed the way she lived and thought about things drastically, maybe more so than Harold does. We enjoyed watching the journey that Harolds wife went on during Harolds pilgrimage. We felt that this was like the hairshirt that a traditional pilgrim may have worn, or maybe he felt that he had set out with them so he was going to finish with them? Maybe it gave the oddness of the walk a certain sense of normalcy to him to be wearing the same shoes and clothes? ![]() Some people felt that he might have lost his mind during certain parts of the book, he certainly seemed to be having difficulty with the world around him, and even staying upright at certain points.Īlmost everyone was annoyed with his shoe choice, and his refusal to buy new ones. They found it to be very ploddy and depressing. ![]() Those that enjoyed the book found it to be very unlifting and positive as an experience, whereas those who didn't enjoy it found it the complete opposite. ![]() No-one actively hated the book which is good! This turned out to be another Marmite book with some people really loving it, while others found it to be really slow and boring. ![]()
