Negative Positive
Title: Far from enlightenment
Review: The first third of this book was painful, but I stuck it out due to my friend's strong recommendation. The incessant whining and droning on about her life was compounded by paragraph-long analogies that were recycled from a few Sex in the City episodes. (And yes, I find it ironic that I am complaining about Gilbert's complaining) The writing was self-absorbed and downright egotistical at times, which is quite a juxtaposition to her spiritual quest of egolessness. But in order to see the light, you have to go through the darkness. And maybe this was Gilbert's intention when writing this book. But regardless, I found it neither well written nor enlightening.
Is the review positive or negative?
