My partner hiked a portion of the PCT similar in length to what Strayed tackled, and I've heard lots of stories about his experience, so reading this had an oddly familiar feel to it. I'm honestly not sure what else to say about it, which is perhaps why I'm stuck at three stars and not four. I'm glad she had the experience, glad she wrote about it, and actually also glad that the movie about it was made (more movies with female protagonists, Hollywood - MORE!!), but the most moving things I think Cheryl Strayed has written include stuff like this: http://therumpus.net/2011/04/dear-sugar-the-rumpus-advice-column-71-the-ghost-ship-that-didnt-carry-us/
