Negative Positive
Title: Very divisive
Review: I have never before felt compelled to write a review about a book, but Eat, Pray, Love is such a divisive book that I feel obligated to weigh in. Prior to reading it, I had heard people raving about how great it was and looked forward to seeing what all the fuss was about. Once I realized that her "journey" was a direct result of her leaving her husband and indulging her own fantasies, I almost put it down. Only curiosity kept me reading, and I began to enjoy reading about her time in Italy in sort of a superficial way. It didn't take long, however, for my initial instincts to kick back in. I struggled to finish the book and could not identify with what I considered to be selfish and irresponsible acts by the author. I can understand why some people may enjoy this book, but to those who have been dealt a tougher hand, it seems a little shallow.
Is the review positive or negative?
