Title: what's the big deal?
Review: I can't undertand what all the hype is about this book. It is average and very superficial. Many people of Gilbert's generation have done what she has done, the travelling, the divorce, the ashrams, the search for self awareness - the only difference is she must have had some very good connections in the literary world to get this book published as I am very sure thousands could do better and make it more interesting. Gilbert comes across as very irritating and full of herself. Why are they making a movie of this tripe? Please!! Also she gives seminars now??? There must be a lot of very shallow people out there who would follow this kind of thing as 'inspirational'. It is CHICK LIT, nothing more and nothing less.Disappointing.
