Wild is angry, brave, sad, self-knowing, redemptive, raw, compelling, and brilliantly written, and I think it’s destined to be loved by a lot of people, men and women, for a very long time.” -Nick Hornby “One of the best books I’ve read in the last five or ten years. Strayed’s journey is exceptional.” - San Francisco Chronicle “Brave seems like the right word to sum up this woman and her book. The cumulative welling up I experienced during Wild was partly a response to that too infrequent sight: that of a writer finding her voice, and sustaining it, right in front of your eyes.” -Dwight Garner, The New York Times It’s got a punk spirit and makes an earthy and American sound. As loose and sexy and dark as an early Lucinda Williams song. I was reduced, during the book’s final third, to puddle-eyed cretinism. 'One of the most original, heartbreaking, and beautiful American memoirs in years. Strayed is a formidable talent.' - The Boston Globe 'An addictive, gorgeous book that not only entertains, but leaves us the better for having read it. “Strayed’s language is so vivid, sharp and compelling that you feel the heat of the desert, the frigid ice of the High Sierra, and the breathtaking power of one remarkable woman finding her way-and herself-one brave step at a time.” - People (4 stars) stimulating, thought-provoking, soul-enhancing.' -Oprah Winfrey, on Wild, first selection of her Book Club 2.0 A literary and human triumph.” - The New York Times Book Review
