Title: Read, Revile, Discard
Review: After hearing 'the buzz' on this book, it sounded right up my alley - my favorite genre of writing is food, with travel a close second, and the idea of reading of a personal journey toward spiritual growth seemed a great way to begin the new year. Well, it is a great way to start the new year - just not with this book.Right from the get-go, I was struck with Ms. Gilbert's selfishness and self-absorption, glaringly evident in the handling of her marriage and life, in her 'me, me me, poor little me' tone. In her writing, this quality does not diminish throughout her journey; conversely, it gets stronger with every page, ad nauseum.If your stomach is strong enough for a dose of flagrant self-aggrandizement, buy this book and a roll of Tums. If not - don't bother.
