jentastic76 's review for:
Wild
by Cheryl Strayed
This reminded me a lot of Eat Pray Love and I really didn't like that book either.
I should have known by the description that this would be kind of naval-gazing and it was. Cheryl is at least open about most of her own failings (which wasn't the case in Eat Pray Love) and that was refreshing. I just got frustrated throughout the book that she keeps making really really stupid decisions and manages to make the trail more difficult than it already is and then congratulates herself on getting through such terrible obstacles. Obstacles that she largely creates herself. She makes her life harder than it needs to be and then constantly congratulates herself on getting through these tough times. It gets annoying.
Both Cheryl and the author of Eat Pray Love are those kinds of women who seriously can't be without the attention of a man for a very long time which is also frustrating to read about. Just the fact that Cheryl brought condoms on the PCT tells you a lot about that aspect of her personality.
