Title: Worst Book I've Ever Read
Review: I also wish zero stars was an option! Gilbert's shallow writing style combined with her self-indulgent point of view make this book nauseating. I received it as a gift but otherwise never would have read it. I kept waiting for the "good part" which NEVER came.Worse yet, Gilbert's narrow perspective exoticizes and orientalizes everything "different" or "new" that she sees. She belittles the people that she meets as they try to fit into her Gilbert-centric universe. Her book is the worst possible example of American travel writing. Spare yourself the pain and skip this book!
