Struggling to get through the bookSeptember 9, 2010 Bryanna Saccucci(Warman, SK, CA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
So I got this book because of the movie. I struggled to read it. The author goes into tooooo much detail about things and it just drags on. She also writes the book for higher level readers which turns me off since there is toooo much detail
While we can't all run away....September 8, 2010 Niquey(Royal Oak, MI) 1 out of 3 found this review helpful
I had heard mixed reviews on this book and finally decided to read it for myself to see what I thought of the book, and having done that, I've reached a few conclusions.
Yes, the author can be incredibly self-absorbed. As can all memoir authors. That's why they call them memoirs.
Yes, the author was able to run away, to escape from her life, to try (successfully) to find herself. What woman hasn't wanted to do that, I ask you? Just because she has been able to do that doesn't make her evil or self absorbed. It makes her blessed.
Yes, I truly believe that unless you've suffered something catastrophic such as a bad accident, the death of a close loved one, or a divorce, you will find the author to be narcissistic. Having gone thru a disasterous marriage and subsequently divorce, coupled with the death of my brother and two rounds of unemployment, I am highly qualified to relate, and relate well, to this author's plight.
This book is an enjoyable read, and one of the few books I've ever strung out into days worth of reading just because I've wanted to savor the reading.
Good readSeptember 8, 2010 Tera Bytes(Missouri) 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I really liked reading this book. I heard of it from the previews of the movie that is out now. I loved reading about her journey through her travels and finding god. It really hit home for me when she mentions in the book how some are never in the moment and always thinking about the past or worrying about the future because that is exactly what I do. It just made me realize how much time I waste just ruminating over and over about things. It also got me thinking about the possibility of meditation to calm my mind. It's not the best book in the world and some may not like it at all, but I thought it was an very enjoyable read.
