Title: Disappointing book by self-absorbed although talented author
Review: I'm glad I borrowed this book from the library. I decided to give it a try because I'd heard so many good reviews, because I'm an avid reader and I love to travel, too. I only made it through the first several chapters of the book before I had to return it to the library for another patron, and I won't bother requesting it again. It's not worth the wait.The author's writing style, I will admit, is engaging. However, her whiny tone, self-absorbed outlook on life and overall interpretation of her experiences is vain and unbecoming. I read her words and think, "If I met her in person, she'd probably be someone I'd try to stay away from!" She seems to have a "poor me" attitude that, although it likely improves over the course of the book, was far too heavy at the beginning for me to consider pursuing the end.
Is the review positive or negative?
