(Author description) After starting and rejecting several books in the library of my kindle for various issues such as muddled (or no) plot, badly drawn characters and unrealistic dialogue, I was so pleased to find The Walking Man. This book has none of the above traits. The voice of Francis rings through loud and clear from the start. Here is a young man beset by problems, who has an ironical look on life. His friends and characters from the hospital are believable (although some are a bit weird) with crisp dialogue that instantly shows their traits. This book is by turn amusing, and upsetting, but never ever boring. A fast entertaining read that should be on your Kindle!
