| I was expecting a totally different book than this one. The description makes it sound more like a spy novel - and if that's what you want, this is not the book for you. Despite that, I really enjoyed the story. The structure of the novel is actually...more | |

Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail
by Cheryl Strayed (Goodreads Author)
read in March, 2013

|
| The obvious comparison for this book that seems to always come up is to Bill Bryson's A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail. It can't compare to that. Strayed's writing in no way can live up to Bryson's - he, after all,...more | |

| I would never have read OUTLIERS on my own, but my book club voted it in and my friend Carrie said it was a great book, so I gave it a shot. It was OK. There are definitely some interesting stories here, and it makes you think about success in a diff...more | |

I've decided to stop summarizing plots in my reviews - the plot summary is at the top of the book's page if you want to read it :) So...how damn crazy are the people in this book? Pretty crazy, obviously. This is the 3rd Gillian Flynn novel, and I've...more |
