A review by ominousevent
Wild by Cheryl Strayed

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.
