What happens when you decide to do The Pacific Coast Trail (1100 miles of mountains and rough terrain) with no hiking experience and a shed load of an emotional baggage after the death of your mother? This book! Cheryl Strayed's fantastic, inspirational read full of many highs and lows will really make you think!

I fully intend to finish this someday - its amazing so far! But it was a digital library download and I didn’t have time to finish it! So far I recommend it!

While some of the self indulgent aspects of this memoir got a little annoying at times...it was an enjoyable read. I could relate with the authors love of the wilderness and her adventurous spirit, and the book really made me want to go for a good hike.

Joah, ganz interessant - wobei mir das Ganze gen Ende ein bissle zu sehr Nabelschau wurde - recht amerikanisch halt. Kann man aber gut mal lesen, ist allerdings nicht wirklich ein reiner "Wanderbericht" sondern auch viel psychologische Nabelschau a la "Mein Weg zu mir Selbst" - den Kerkeling fand ich insgesamt besser.

This was an enjoyable read, following a woefully unprepared, yet determined woman's journey, hiking the Pacific Coast Trail. Her story was inspiring. I learned a lot about the PCT and what long-trail hikers go through.

La poca preparación de la autora para enfrentar el Pacific Crest Trail a ratos me ponía muy nerviosa, pero más allá de eso, es un libro sobre el duelo, el (des)amor, la juventud, la valentía, tomar riesgos y aventurarse en la vida, lo increíble que es el cuerpo humano, cuánto aguanta, cuánto puede sufrir y las cosas que estamos dispuestas a hacer las personas cuando creemos que no tenemos nada que perder. Es un libro entretenido y con algunas reflexiones que vale la pena leer.
