Another great book, May 6 2010

This review is from: Confessions of a Pilgrim (Paperback)
I just finished reading this book and now have not only one Camino to walk but two. This was the first book/account I've read on the Portuguese Route of the Camino. With her usual insight and candor, this book takes you through her challenges, insights, and lessons as if you are riding in a sidecar. I love her accounts and her writing style.I was only slightly distracted by the grammatical errors sprinkled throughout the book, which I probably noticed more because I tend to read her books SO carefully, wanting to devour every word.
I also watched her DVD documentary last night. Quite enjoyable as well.

Pilgrimage repeater, Oct 9 2009

This review is from: Confessions of a Pilgrim (Paperback)
I have been reading accounts of the pilgrimage to Santiago de Campostela in northwest Spain for several years. This book is from a sub-genre, that of the pilgrim who returns to the pilgrimage, sometimes over the same route and sometimes from a different direction.[I have also purchased a DVD, Las Peregrinas, made by Sue Kenney and including interviews with women on the Camino de Santiago.]
She experiences lost luggage and lost money and just keeps on walking!

A quest for the eagle feather receipient makes for good reading, April 16 2008
By Timecheck "backpack45.com - Camino Chronicle... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Confessions of a Pilgrim (Paperback)
I met Sue Kenney a couple of years ago at a pilgrim gathering, some years after I had read her first book and listened to her Camino CD. I'm not quite sure what I was expecting, but something superhuman, and it was a surprise to see a perfectly normal person, not very tall, and with her mother in tow.From Sue's writings I get a sense of tremendous energy, and this book is no exception. As she worked on her first book about the Camino, she began to feel the urge to do a long walk, again, this time walking parts of the Portugal route, and Finisterre. Before she leaves on the walk, a native american friend gives her an eagle feather, an object of great import, and assigns Sue the obligation of finding someone worthy of receiving the eagle feather.
The thread of the book is the quest for the eagle feather recipient. My thoughts on this same route were, how far to the next refugio, where can we find somewhere to eat, but Sue is driven by a higher purpose, and the search makes for good reading.
