Book Reviews of Soul, Sweat and Survival on the Pacific Crest Trail

Book Review: Inspiring and humbling
Summary: 4 Stars

I'm one of those vicarious PCT thru-hikers who merely has section hiked portions of the grand trail. Bob Holtel hiked the entire way and his journey is epic and makes for a great read. I devoured the entire book in one sitting and was a little depressed when I was finished. Holtel writes very well and it's as if you're with him throughout every painful mile. When he can't find water for an evening, you're thirsty along with him. When he spies a black bear meandering across the path, you see the animal as well. He really has a story teller's gift and this book is nirvana for anyone who has actually thru hiked the Pacific Crest Trail or who has aspirations of someday doing it.

From the border of Mexico all the way up to Washington, you're in step with Holtel without a boring or wasted word. This is a gripping book and an infectious reading experience.

Summary of Soul, Sweat and Survival on the Pacific Crest Trail

This is a book of raw power---Hostel ran a marathon a day, primarily alone, for 2600 miles over the jagged, volcanic spine of the Pacific west---yet a book of unexpected grace. The voice of this crusty runner becomes as mysteriously engaging as the wilderness he crosses. By trail's end, my awe had given way to animal jealousy. I will forever lament that Holtel's experience was not my own.--- Ken Moore, former Olympic Marathoner.
