Very disappointed with this book. I was expecting something much more interesting and inspiring. I felt that the author jumped into this experience with very little prep and took many chances that put her in unnecessary danger - especially as a novice doing this by herself. I did not feel that she was a particularly likeable character and after a while I got sick of hearing about her aches and pains and unwise decisions. I started to not care about her story and decided that it was time to stop wasting my time reading it. You may feel differently and it got many great reviews, so give it a try. Perhaps I was just not in the right frame of mind when I read the book, which sometimes occurs and then at a later date I enjoy it. However, I dont think that will happen with this story.
