Two Men. One Country. And a lot of whisky. Stars of the Outlander series - Sam Heughan & Graham McTavish (Jamie Fraser and Dougal MacKenzie respectfully) take an epic road trip around their homeland discussing Scotlands history (complete with visits to famous sites like the location of the Battle of Culloden) and sharing stories of their past (they are a bit of an age difference) all while driving around in a tiny camper van.
I listen to this as an audiobook and I kid you not I don't know if I would recommend just reading the book by itself. Sam & Graham narrate the book and it is FILLED to the brim with their sarcastic comments, witty banter back and forth and just full of so much of their personalities that you do them such a disservice if you didn't listen to it as a audiobook.
I cannot stress how much of a perfectly light hearted journey this book is. Their friendship is FELT throughout with their jibes at each other and even though they discuss some heavy history you don't feel weighed down by it. Not saying they make light of it, it just the way their present it. I appreciate that friends don't have to be within your own age grouping and even more love the Scots sense of humor.
You NEED to listen to the audiobook. Now and if not now then purchase it for tomorrow. I guarantee it will put a smile on your face within 2 mins.
