The Mountain Story by Lori Lansens
4.0
Wow I'm starting to think that deep down I want to hike part of the Pacific Crest Trail. After reading the book Wild last year, and falling for the story about hiking the western mountain range, The Mountain Story touched me in similar ways, but the similarities stopped there.
Honestly I was looking for a book that would grab my attention and hold it, and The Mountain Story did just that for me. In this book we meet Wolf, an experienced hiker who by chance, meets three women who also happen to be the same strangers he gets lost on the California mountain range with. Wolf comes from a hard childhood, and has decided that on his 18th birthday that he also wants to end his life. He is set to go forward with this plan until he gets distracted by these strangers on the trail who need his help, and the story takes off from there as we see him grow from a boy to a man while being lost in the wilderness. I kept guessing the whole story as to who the unfortunate soul would be.
