This winter I newly discovered my local library’s collection of free ebooks and audiobooks. I had heard about the book Wild: From Lost to Found of the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed, but hadn’t looked into it much. While browsing through the list of books on my new app I saw an audio version of Wild and decided to give it a try. Overall it has a fairly high rating of 4.00 stars on GoodReads.com, but has mixed reviews from readers. Some giving it a low 1-star rating while others wrote glowing 5-star reviews. You’ll have to pick up your own copy to see which end of the spectrum you’re on. Wild is about the author, Cheryl Strayed’s, journey as she hiked over a thousand miles of the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) through California, Oregon, and Washington. She was not a hiker/backpacker, had done nothing to the likes of this before, and didn’t even train for her trip. It was an impulsive decision, but this trip helped her to process and push through some hard things that had happened in her life. By her mid-twenties she had already had quite the interesting life! As you read Wild you follow along with Strayed on her many miles trekking on the PCT. She bounces between stories of things that happened in the past, and things that are happening on the trail. She meets a variety of people and interesting characters along the way. It is inspiring to see what she had come from in her past and how she was able to overcome those hardships and conquer this big trip with no prior experience, no training, and to do it alone. It you’re looking for some adventure and inspiration find a copy of Wild and start reading! I gave Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed 4 stars on GoodReads, rating it as “I really liked it.” To learn more about the book, visit GoodReads.com by clicking the button below.
