3.5 starsGave me an aching of wanting to wander off the path of everyday life and just live day to day with nature - in the most sincere and non-hippie way :)
Some have "complained" that Strayed is to self-involved and delves too much on the things she has experienced before hiking the PCT. I think those people have never been in any kind of basic environment where you are alone with just yourself and your most inner feelings and thoughts. They are rarely what you expect and they/you are never concerned with being "self-involved" as such a concept only really exist in relation to other people...
I really liked Strayed's story. Do I agree with everything she did or thought? Certainly not, but that doesn't mean I can't understand her and feel her story...
