I very much enjoyed The Journey, it is an easy read with an engaging plot, and full of surprises until the very last page. The central figure ,Simon, is an interesting if conflicted character , but also a bien survivor having to make a series of moral decisions as he faces one challenge after another. Undoubtedly many readers will identify with him, while others may not like him at all. The other characters, of which there are many, are often very likeable and the author's description of the settings on the Wirral and in the Lake District suggest strong ties with these areas. Overall a great read for the beach or a lazy weekend at home.

The Journey is a great read and kept me entertained for many hours. Interesting characters, each with a intriguing personality, and a story that is easy to follow, with some surprising twists. There is so much more to the story than what is explicitly stated. Looking forward to Mr Hill’s next books!

The Journey was a nice easy read, with a plot that kept me turning the pages. I still haven’t decided about the main character, Simon. He came across as nice and family orientated, but I thought he was hiding something. The characters are all believable, and in particular I liked the The Major. I’m going to be watching out for a sequel or a TV mini-series.
