Wild

Alison's picture

Wild impressed me a lot as a memoir instead of a novel. I was attracted by Cheryl’s description about her past and her straightforward attitude to those desperate memories. However, as long as I read, I found she is a pretty complex person. She is not that responsible to herself and her family to some extant, and I found it is not that reasonable to me when she discarded herself after the death of her mother. She is also destined and strong in other aspects through her decision and experiences on PCT. This is the kind of inspirational story, but I can feel the sincere emotion in it. I’m really looking forward to read the following stories.
