Death on a Galician Shore by Domingo Villar is a crime novel but very good, particularly if you want to get a sense about the Galician people and culture.
I walked from Porto to Santiago three years ago. It was lovely and the albergues were really good. On the occasions you have to walk alongside a road it can feel quite dangerous but most of the time it's off-road.
