![]() ![]() ![]() The Hard Thing About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz. There were some good plot twists, and it’s generally well regarded. I did finish it, but unsure anyone else should. At times I was more curious to see if I would finish it than about what would happen next to Mare. It’s a short book, but still a bit too long for me. Mare Barrow, 17, is a Red – the bottom of society, and through a strange set of events becomes a Silver – royalty. I did enjoy the book, and wanted more as I suspect her real story begins after the hike. Parker puts a lot of blame on her mom, but that’s also part of that age. Realistically that’s part of being so young. I’ve had similar frustration to some of the decisions and conclusions my sons reach. At first, I didn’t like young Parker because of her consistent ability to make bad decisions. ![]() Her transition took all of California and Oregon until a confident young woman emerged in Washington with a new name. Parker used the PCT to heal herself after being raped as a college freshman. Girl in the Woods is similar, but totally different. It actually scooped Dorothy Parker’s journey that occurred a few years before it. Wild got much more attention (and a movie) than Girl in the Woods. I enjoyed the movie Wild which is about about a woman in her 40s that turns to the 2650 mile hike of Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) to sort out the loss of her mother, her divorce, and life in general.
