Title: Disappointing
Product review: This book was a disappointment for me. Firstly, the notes on the margins of this book made the reading dis-jointed and irritating, as if you were reading a magazine article and not a book. Secondly, the main narrative was disjointed as well, jumping back and forth in time as if building suspense in a detective story or some high-brow literature. Yet, this is meant to be a memoir of a Buddhist nun.Mmh, maybe this pretentious(?) writing-style has something to do with the motivation of the author to take ordination: At some point she confesses that one motivation for getting ordained was that it would later serve her as a good conversation starter at a cocktail party. Sorry, can it get anymore shallow?I would have loved to read more about the Thai forest temple but I am not sure I can finish this book
