Wild- Cheryl Strayed (book group)

Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest TrailWild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

One of my favorite genres; true adventure. The story of a troubled woman who hikes the Pacific Crest Trail alone. Loved reading about the hike, but her life story was not compelling to me. Could have used a little editing. Example: talking about the Oregon mountains south of Mt Hood: Jefferson Three Sisters and "Broken Finger". What the heck? We have no Broken Finger. Broken Top and Three Fingered Jack, yes. Broken Finger, no.

All in all still enjoyed the book, can't go wrong with the story of a long hike in an intriguing location.

Love the concept and the plot,can't stand the twit of a protagonist. This series would make a great movie. Looking forward to the next one

Why do so many books in this genre have such lame female characters. So wishy washy,
