Title: Boring journey through one woman's self-indulgence
Review: I awaited this book with great anticipation, having loved The Secret Life of Bees. What a let down! To be fair, I am agnostic so the religious and spiritual angst was a yawner. But the entire book put me to sleep -- boring, colorless, self-absorbed characters; boring, pedantic, colorless dialogue (what there is of it; most of the book is navel-inspecting narrative); boring, colorless, done-to-death plot; a woman who, even after her "journey" appears to define herself through a man; a "surprise" ending that is figured out in the early pages -- surely there are better books with which to spend your time. A huge disappointment from a talented writer.
