The End of the Road: A journey around Britain in search of the dead
The End of the Road: A journey around Britain in search of the dead | Jack Cooke
1 post | 1 read
A wonderfully quixotic, charming and surprisingly uplifting travelogue which sees Jack Cooke, author of the much-loved The Treeclimbers Guide, drive around the British Isles in a clapped-out forty-year old hearse in search of famous and not so famous tombs, graves and burial sites.

This could be better in print but the audio didn‘t work for me at all; the reader was really grating 😬 I love the concept (the author drives around in a hearse in search of certain cemeteries & tombstones) but I was bored for a lot of it. There‘s a mix of his travels, the people he meets, facts on burial sites and the people whose gravestones he visits. On paper it sounds good but it didn‘t translate well for me. ⭐️⭐️

youneverarrived #nonfiction2021 something about community - the parts I did like were when he mentioned about the people he met along the way who helped him in his search. (edited) 3y
rockpools Oh how disappointing- it sounded like it could be an interesting one 😕 3y
youneverarrived @rockpools I know 🙁 I think with audiobooks though the reader can really make or break it, so possibly better in print! 3y
vivastory Just a heads-up, I messaged you on GR about the discussion 3y
