Wild

Review Quotes: 

"An addictive, gorgeous book that not only entertains, but leaves us the better for having read it. . . . Strayed is a formidable talent." --The Boston Globe

-One of the best books I've read in the last five or ten years. . . . Wild is angry, brave, sad, self-knowing, redemptive, raw, compelling, and brilliantly written, and I think it's destined to be loved by a lot of people, men and women, for a very long time.- --Nick Hornby
-Devastating and glorious. . . . By laying bare a great unspoken truth of adulthood--that many things in life don't turn out the way you want them to, and that you can and must live through them anyway--Wild feels real in many ways that many books about 'finding oneself' . . . do not.- --Slate

-This is a big, brave, break-your-heart-and-put-it-back-together-again kind of book. Cheryl Strayed is a courageous, gritty, and deceptively elegant writer. She walked the PCT to find forgiveness, came back with generosity--and now she shares her reward with us. I snorted with laughter, I wept uncontrollably; I don't even want to know the person who isn't going to love Wild. This is a beautifully made, utterly realized book.- --Pam Houston, author of Contents May Have Shifted and Cowboys are My Weakness
