Cheryl Strayed - Wild

Oh this book wanted to be so much more to me that it was...I love tales of man (in this case woman) against nature struggling with both inner and outer demons to reach some apex of life.  In this case a grand tale of a woman putting some difficult times behind her and hitting the trail to find herself.  The set up is everything I would hope for but what happens when you don't like the main character?  Her struggles are heart felt but the woman she is is not very likeable and that is the challenge in saying whether I truly liked this book or just thought it was a whiners tale. 
I respected her journey.  Didn't respect her.
