Wild by Cheryl Strayed

5.0

The best book I’ve read this year. The writing is amazing. Many people seem not to like this as they expected it to focus purely on the trail. However, I would say that those people are imposing on the book an ideal that has been learned by reading guide or sightseeing books. But this is a piece of travel literature— it has no responsibility to stick to the linear narrative, and its purpose is not to ‘guide’ you.
