In the last few months, I've been on a reading binge.  Seems like a couple per week.  And I think it's safe to say this one:  The Scavenger's Daughter and another a while back (Wild by Cheryl Strayed) were my favorites.  By leaps and bounds.  The Scavenger's Daughter kept me page turning late into the night from beginning to end.  I understood the neg. reviews but unlike Wild, I simply disagreed with them all.  (the negative reviews in Wild seemed just plain stupid for the most part).  I have to admit a bias with this one. The story line seemed to be embedded in it's setting (San Diego and it's surroundings) that the plot seemed to come alive recognizing the places things happened.  Yup, I would highly recommend it.  Even it you've never been to San Diego
