About this product
Product Information
At twenty-six, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother's rapid death from cancer, her family disbanded and her marriage crumbled. With nothing to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life: to walk eleven-hundred miles of the west coast of America - from the Mojave Desert, through California and Oregon, and into Washington state - and to do it alone. She had no experience of long-distance hiking and the journey was nothing more than a line on a map. But it held a promise - a promise of piecing together a life that lay in ruins at her feet.Product Identifiers

A honest account of how Cheryl got her life back on track
I've seen the film version of 'Wild' and enjoyed it, so thought I would give the book a whirl knowing that the film probably omitted hallf of what actually happened. Having read varied reviews from people who absolutely loved it, to those who couldn't bear to finish it, I was curious: Was Cheryl insufferably selfish and ill-prepared, or a woman dealing with her issues honestly and frankly? Turns out I enjoyed the book immensely -much more then the film - and have already begun reading it again. Yes, she's flawed but that is what makes the read so compelling - if she had done everything perfectly then there wouldn't be a tale to tell, at least not an interesting one. Her story of her 1100 mile trek along the Pacific Crest Trail is punctuated by flashbacks to her old life, breaking up the journey and vividly showing her moving through various emotional stages to arrive at the end of the PCT a changed person, mentally and physically. Whilst a hugely insightful memoir, the end does leave you wanting to know more: what happened to her family? How did she return to life in the city afterwards? This was why I give the book 4 stars and not the full 5. Highly recommended read.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Fascinating novel
This is one of the best books I've ever read. It's beautifully written and, though the subject is repetitive, one never gets bored. I would recommend it to anyone. It's brilliant.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
