Negative Positive
Title: It is what it is.
Review: It's basically travel porn for white women of a certain age.Gilbert is the kind of US traveler for whom the whole world and all its people is about ME, ME, ME.And that includes the men, who have not much real ambition of their own except for finding the protagonist oh so wonderful.It was a big trope of novels in the sixties and seventies that the writer was married to a person who was death, death, death. And the writer broke away for life, life, life. Both genders wrote this stuff."Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose."Reverse the genders and women would HATE this book, and the writer.
Is the review positive or negative?
