Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

Sorry its late ........
The room was divided regarding their like or dislike of the book. Some thoroughly enjoyed her travels both mentally and physically. Some found her to be selfish, boring and dull. Though after some discussion Tahnee did feel she needed to re-read the book.
The Scores:
Tahnee: 3 Priviledged and frustrating... after discussion a little more lenient.
Colleen: 5 Self indulgent crap - struggled to finish.
Debbie: 6.5 Unexpected delight - loved Italy.
Liz: 7 Enjoyed her thought processes and her different point of view.
Kerry: 5 Tiresome however did challenge Kerry to understand her courage to
move forward with her life.
Kay: 5 Boring, frustrating and tedious ramblings of a stupid woman.
Leslie: 7.5 Related somehow to her and the book. Dunno ... searching for ??
Trilby: 5
