For the non-hiker, this book could get a bit repetitive and boring in parts, but if you're a hiker, you will want to devour every moment. I'm not a hiker, but found the concept of hiking the Pacific Crest Trail an interesting, occasionally fun, and all at the same time...miserable idea. Cheryl Strayed, in her 20's, seems to find herself along this trail after years of promiscuity, drug use, her mother's death, a divorce, and the scattering of what had once been a close family. She has a wanderlust that seems to only be cured by pain and at times agony. She doesn't seem to have any boundaries with her own body, and comes across reckless and immature. I guess we all were in our 20's. This is a great coming-of-age story for every young woman.
