Thanks for comments, all -- I do understand why this book isn't everyone's brand of vodka, but I also have the sense that we're extra hard on women who tell their own stories, particularly when it doesn't involve self-sacrifice to a child, a husband, a cause.

But with that said, I did like the Eat and Pray part of the book better than I liked Love, in other words, I thought the book sagged at the end.

But If the book or the movie encourages people to travel though, I'm all for it. Which is also why I wrote about travel tie-ins to the Sex and the City sequel earlier here on Luxist. And come to think of it, that movie would make an interesting compare and contrast to EPL, as SATC2 is a model of self-absorption in which I can find almost redeeming value.
