Negative Positive
Title: Self-absorbed author leaves husband looking for spiritual fulfilmment through carnal excesses.
Review: The book is beautifully written, but I found the author/protagonist shallow, self-absorbed and pretentious..I was turned off at the opening when she walked out on her husband for unspecified reasons (i.e. "not fulfilling my emotional needs") and then had the balls to be surprised when he was hurt and lashed back..Another reviewer, "Wanjugo," nailed it when she wrote: "Many people say it was courageous for her to leave him, but the word selfish kept coming to my mind. Also thought about the DOUBLE STANDARDS in the American culture because a man who leaves his wife because he is sad in the marriage I bet would not sell so many books.".This is appeals to the modern woman who, in a 21st version of Cinderella, expects her husband to satisfy all of her emotional and spiritual needs while supplying her with regular orgasms..This book did not push my buttons at all.
