Lauren T. (littlegirl) - reviewed on 10/12/2014 + 37 more book reviews

I really enjoyed the way the author wove her personal/family history into the story of the hike. I also appreciated that she did not hold back details on her bad behavior, as I think it was important to understanding her on a deeper level and why she set off o the hike. I did, however, find the end a bit rushed. The details of the beginning and middle of the hike were great, but then all of a sudden, she arrived and summarized her life after the hike in about 2 pages. Perhaps there was nothing new to really report/unveil toward the end and if included it would have made the story too repetitive, but it seemed somewhat incongruous with the rest of the narrative. Im not sure this is going to make a very good movie, but Im interested to see how Reese Witherspoon does with it!
