4 out of 5 stars She's a great writer!   July 20, 2008
 0 out of 2 found this review helpful

I'm not done reading this book, but what I've read so far has given me enough to know that she is an extraordinary writer. You get that within the first 10 pages. I think all the bad reviews are coming from people who probably thought they were going to get lost in a romantic book about traveling the world. It probably doesn't do it justice to list it in the travel section of book stores. She's very clever and has a very sharp wit. It's truly insightful and funny. Her analogies create great imagery. But maybe best of all are her masterful descriptions of what goes on in her mind about herself. I think the naysayers who were looking to read about traveling would be best to stick to the abundantly informative yet robotic accounts of Rick Steves.


3 out of 5 stars I think she grew as a person   July 19, 2008
 0 out of 2 found this review helpful

I love travel, personal search for meaning books and although, this wasn't a great book, it was entertaining and I think she grew as a person, some of the country observations were nice. A nice book--don't agree that is has great spiritual insight, but we are on a search for meaning. This is one woman's search.. Perfect for plane travel


5 out of 5 stars Could not put it down for a secon   July 19, 2008

This is the best book i've read in a while. I could not let it go. She has great sense if humor as well as honesty.
I can't recommend it more.



1 out of 5 stars disappointing and shallow   July 19, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I agreed with all the negative reviews. It was self fulfilled prophecy when the author found herself on this trip to 'find herself' as she got a book advance - not divine intervention.

She spends the book hemming and hawing about her breakups, and ends her year of self reflection and correction by attaching herself to another man.

The writing was quirky and amusing - but its unfortunate and aggravating to learn this much about her shallowness and insecurities.



1 out of 5 stars ugh!   July 19, 2008

I also was excited to read this book, I'd heard good things about it. I was really suprised that I could dislike it this much! The writer is just sooo totally self-centered and annoying. I've never rolled my eyes so much while reading a book and just found it so shallow and the writer so concieted. I found it disturbing that she didn't seem too affected by the poverty she must've witnessed in India, perhaps she was, it just didn not come across to me in the book that she was. If you want some great reads I'd suggest - The Glass Castle, The Book Thief and Three Cups of Tea.
