Negative Positive
Title: I really tried.............
Review: I really wanted to love this, but while reading it, I could not get past the fact that the author is 34 years old! She's slim and lovely! She's wealthy! She's on a ALL-EXPENSES PAID "research" vacation(oops, I mean sabbatical) to ITALY, INDIA and an island paradise! And she's whining, crying, pontificating about the meaning of her life, complaining... I mean it really was a struggle for me to get to the end. Oh, and my goodness, the end....the "point" of the book, the climax, oh I won't ruin it for you. I admit it, perhaps I am being "age-ist" here--- had the author been a 55 year old divorcee, perhaps a survivor of an illness or catastrophe, maybe I could have bought it.... but no, this was too much "Carrie Bradshaw goes Under the Tuscan Sun" for me... I'll take Frances Mayes anytime.
Is the review positive or negative?
