Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Emily Lawrence?Īnyone but her. I'm not sure how it could have been changed to make it more enjoyable. It read too much like a dry, unemotional journal where she took her notes from her travels and just put them in sentence form.
What could Sarah Marquis and Stephanie Hellert - Translator have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Would you try another book from Sarah Marquis and Stephanie Hellert - Translator and/or Emily Lawrence? For Marquis, her story is about freedom, being alive and wild by nature. This is an incredible story of adventure, human ingenuity, persistence, and resilience that shows firsthand what it is to adventure as a woman in the most dangerous of circumstance, what it is to be truly alone in the wild, and why someone would challenge themselves with an expedition others would call crazy. In Wild by Nature, National Geographic explorer Sarah Marquis takes you on the trail of her 10,000-mile solo hike across the remote Gobi desert from Siberia to Thailand, at which point she was transported by boat to complete the hike at her favorite tree in Australia.Īgainst nearly insurmountable odds and relying on hunting and her own wits, Sarah Marquis survived the Mafia, drug dealers, thieves on horseback who harassed her tent every night for weeks, temperatures from subzero to scorching, life-threatening wildlife, a dengue fever delirium in the Laos jungle, tropic ringworm in northern Thailand, dehydration, and a life-threatening abscess. Not since Cheryl Strayed gifted us with her adventure on the Pacific Crest Trail in her memoir, Wild, has there been such a powerful epic adventure by a woman alone. "The only way to survive three years of walking was to embrace the moment of now." - from Wild by Nature
