I really regret that I listened to the nay-sayers and put this book off for SO long. Ridiculous. A few of them really turned out to be shamers, which is awful and sad. I really wish I could find the review I read that said Wild (Strayed, 2012) was a drug and sex filled orgy. The hell?!? Yes, both ar...
I spotted this book at the library the other day. I've never read anything by the author prior to this book, but I love inspirational quotes and I decided to give it a read.Like the author, I also collect quotes. She is right in that when we read something that strikes a chord, in a way it becomes a...
Having read both Wild and Tiny Beautiful Things I recognized most of the quotes in this book. Although some quotes stand well on their own, others lack substance with out the full context of which they speak of. I have read Tiny Beautiful Things more than once and find its raw honesty and wisdom ins...
A great book to end the year with. A lot of these letters are very heavy and I found it too much to read very quickly this time around. But I really like Strayed's advice. She manages to be realistic and reassuring at the same time. Strayed says it best herself: "I’m not so much telling people wha...
Cheryl Strayed is good at simile and metaphor (something I am not). Having just finished Wild and being in the middle of rereading Tiny Beautiful Things, I recognized many of the quotes in this book. It might be a good book to have lying around to read a page when you're feeling a little lost or hop...
I'm in the middle of rereading Tiny Beautiful Things but needed something I could read on my breaks at work so I picked up Wild. Someone told me the book is too much about Strayed (possibly my favorite comment about a memoir ever). Someone else told me there's a lot of sex (Strayed self-describes ...
Cheryl Strayed is a sentence. It’s her name, but she chose it, saying “Cheryl strayed.” She identified with her various transgressions or wanderings-off so deeply that when she got divorced she picked this past tense verb for a last name. The past tense is important. Even when she writes about the p...
Audiobook: (fantastic narration)Cheryl's life is messed up, her mother died quickly form cancer, her marriage ended, and her drug abuse has reached a new, "never going to do level". She has issues blackening her soul, unresolved feelings, untouched goals and nowhere to go. One day she see's a book o...
When Cheryl Strayed was twenty-six years old, she decided to hike 1000 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail. She hoped that the trip would help her come to terms with her mother’s death and the disintegration of her family. I’m a little surprised by the reviews of this memoir on Goodreads. Some people...
I received this book from my boyfriend's mother who told me she couldn't get through it, but thought I should give it a try. By the time I had finished, I knew I had experienced something amazing. That seems to be a good summary of people's reactions to the book. You either love it or hate it.I for ...
