I think the book succeeds on its own terms. It is a no-frills account of the trek. Whether that makes it one that you will want to go read is the tricky thing to determine. On a personal level, for me, it might rate 4 stars, if you're actually thinking of hiking the PCT then definitely so – but as a general recommendation to other readers, I can't give it more than three-and-a-half.
For more forays into the mountains we can recommend [[Chasing Angels by Sally Zigmond]] or for a more gentle approach read [[Into The Mountain, A Life of Nan Shepherd by Charlotte Peacock]] and then seek out Shepherd's own work. You might also appreciate [[Adventure Travel (AA Travel Guides) by William Gray]].
