Review # 1 was written on 2010-11-23 00:00:00 Justin Bloom Best landscape descriptive writing I think I have ever found. Jill is very open in relaying her feelings and emotions. The two blended together perfectly. I wish I had read this one while camping instead of during a snow storm because I got the itch to be outside!

Review # 2 was written on 2015-02-26 00:00:00 Michael Mcloughlin Written well before Wild by Cheryl Strayed and reflecting a different trip/journey altogether. Frayne is middle aged on subsequent and frequent trips to Atlin in BC and to the Yukon. Strayed was a very young woman searching for herself. So is Frayne but in a different way and mindset. The wilderness of the BC interior is so breathtaking and peaceful and Frayne's imagery so makes you want to be there right now. Poetic at times, some dialogue but mostly she shows us what she sees and experiences and it is heavenly. I forgave her the preachy bits about 'us' ruining the environment...the canoe trip to cap off the book at the top of Superior was fantastic. She brings us full circle from Ontario to BC and back to our own wilderness here and what life thrills she has gleaned from it all. A very good book.
