Title: Narcissistic, Annoying, and Too Girly
Review: I'm not sure who started the hype about this book, but it's not true. While the author's storytelling is witty and funny, this does not make up for the narcissism of a relatively spoiled woman who happened to encounter a kink in her life (a bad relationship). Rather than doing anything that could help better the world with the year she is given to take off and write this book, she spends her time fussing over a cute boy or two in Italy, obsessing over exactly how to meditate in India, and justifying the break from her self-imposed year-long fast from sex while she's in Indonesia. The Pray section of the book is the most annoying, and I would have stopped reading the book altogether had I not promised the girlfriend who gave me the book that I would read it. The book lacks any depth (emotional, cultural, or otherwise), and inspires its readers to nothing but their own self-centeredness. The only thing going for it is the author's wit.
Is the review positive or negative?
