over-rated
Let's hope she doesn't write any more books....a waste of good paper.

Eat Love Pray
In one word - BORING. Don't understand how it got to be a best seller, was ready to throw it in the bin after first few chapters. Been waiting so long to read this book - glad I didn't buy it. The friend I got it off couldn't even finish it.

why
This book does not put the author in a good light. Unable to maintain a relationship and unable to maintain any sexual purity...She tells a story, but why?
Not worth reading.

boring
I was excited to buy this book but wanted to put it away several times. There were a few moments of great writing but most of the book is extremely dry and boring. I did not finish the book and I would not buy anything else from this author based on this sampling.
