Acquired, somewhat early. for October's splinter book group choice.

(26/10/15) Well this was different, but not in a good way!

That said, I was in a minority of one in not liking the book. The author, the self-named 'Strayed' comes across as very disorganised, manipulating, selfish and needy as she sets off on her hike along the Pacific Coast Trail to find herself...probably, although maybe the memoir potential was somewhere at the back of her mind as well!

The film with Reese Witherspoon is meant to be good, so maybe I will see a different take on the story, and see some of the amazing scenery that she talks about, without her clamouring inner voice and reflections to annoy me :)

I have passed this on to my old mum to read...I think she might like it???

Back home and ready again for more travels, maybe somewhere more exotic this time...?

Left on the table after a very nice coffee and natter with a new networking friend :)

If you find this book, welcome to bookcrossing. Enjoy.
