Fabi Luques 26/07/2018This book wasn't on my reading list of this year, but as it appeared in my life, I was enchanted even with the prologue. Cheryl Strayed seemed to put her soul into this writing. As we read it, we can almost feel as if we were out there in the woods with her, feeling her loneliness as well as her joy with every small achievement. The book does gets a bit slow after a while, but I guess there was no other way of representing this journey so truthfully - and never it was so gratifying to complete a reading. This book was eye opening for me, as it gave me a hole new view in life. Cheryl goes through a lot of heavy stuff in her life concerning both her surroundings and her inner being, but as the reading goes, we can clearly see how all of this made her stronger. I usually don't get emotional with books, but this one has made me cry a few times as a consequence of me being so immersed in it. However, the amount of times I've cried does not compare to the amount of times I've caught myself smiling throughout the book. It was worth the reading, it's a great book.
