I was a little disappointed
Is this a story with a happy ending?
First, this is an inspiring memoir. What a great testament to what a person can do if they set their minds to something that matters to them. Definitely made me want to hike portions of the PCT, especially as I live about 2 miles from it. Also made me rethink my little boo-hoos when I am just hiking a shorter hike.The author was brave, tough (the boot problem would have been enough to send me straight home), and pretty awesome. Her story was interesting, funny and pretty informative. I only gave this 4 stars instead of 5 because I expected more due to all the hype. Also because I was a little disappointed that she only hiked part of the trail - not that I could have done any better. I think I just expected this epic journey that stretched the whole trail.If you have read A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson, I think you might be a little disappointed with Wild, but it is still a good read and worth your time.
