Title: If Woody Allen and Saul Bellow had a baby...
Review: If Woody Allen and Saul Bellow had a baby who inherited most of her parents' neuroses and love of self-analysis and very little of their talent, that baby would be Elizabeth Gilbert.Gilbert's writing style is okay. She was amusing at times and I found parts of her descriptions of her stay in India interesting. But I just couldn't get past the author's jaw-dropping obsession with herself. She simply isn't interesting enough to warrant it! I was pretty sick of her after about forty pages.Why do Oprah-ites think the way to "find yourself" is to spend 365 days thinking about yourself and nothing but yourself? Most of us in the real world know the true path to self-enlightenment comes thru "losing yourself."
