ominousevent's review against another edition

I enjoyed Strayed's Dear Sugar columns, back in the day when she was Sugar, and this book had been vaguely on my radar for a long time. I'm not sure how much I enjoyed it, in the end; I appreciate the emotional journey she shares, and likewise her experiences of hiking and the environments she travelled through, but ultimately it all felt a bit empty and unsatisfying. Maybe partly due to the narration, maybe a failure on my part to connect with the-author-as-character. I can't really put my finger on it at all.

Just an absolutely astounding book that I wholly enjoyed cover to cover. Strayed’s writing is incredibly beautiful, eloquent, and entranced me with visions of her journey and life. Despite the descriptions of how hard the PCT is, her experience has only made me want to hike it more.

Truly a fantastic book, I would recommend this to anyone!

this is a memoir where all i can really say is that im so glad cheryl was so open with her life in this book, giving us readers such an intimate look into her story as she took us all along with her on the pacific crest trail.
