A review by emmak2012
Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed

adventurous informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.0

I sometimes find memoirs overly self-indulgent, so I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. I felt almost disappointed at the end as I wanted the journey to keep going! I found it a little difficult to get through the descriptions of Cheryl’s mother’s illness, but that was due to personal experience and not a reflection on the quality of the writing, which flowed well throughout the book and conjured some wonderful images of the PCT. While I like my sofa too much to do anything like Cheryl did, her story has reminded me that there is a big world out there waiting to be explored and that grief should not be a barrier to living life to the fullest.
