What Members Thought
I love Cheryl Strayed. She writes with great intensity and honesty; I find her refreshing. Her tale of hiking the PCT is inspiring to say the least. She almost makes me want to lace up my hiking boots. If resilience like hers can be discovered on the trail, I think we all need a turn.
I put off reading this for quite some time because I expected it to be self indulgent and annoying. It kind of was, but the writing is really good and I ended up really enjoying it. I actually related (perhaps a bit too much) to Strayed's reckless youth. Her writing was really on point when she wrote about her mother, and the story about her mother's horse was one of the best written passages I've ever read in a memoir.

I enjoyed this book. The woman finds hiking to be a therapeutic way to cope with her mom's death.

Amazing! Bernadette Dunn was the perfect narrator for this book (I had a hard time getting used to her voice when I listened to "Under the Never Sky." And then when I finished I listened to the song "Into the Wild" by LP, which would be perfect if this book had a soundtrack. I do love living vicariously through others, given that I'm never likely to hike the Pacific Crest Trail myself.
