I didn't much like Gilbert by the end, either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346831263230175202.post-24431968393310191332008-09-09T08:32:00.000-07:002008-09-09T08:32:00.000-07:00Hype does that to books (and other things), we end...Hype does that to books (and other things), we end up expecting something incredible.

In fact, by the end of the book, I found myself not really liking Gilbert much.<BR/><BR/>I've heard that her book The Last American Man is far better, but I've been hesitant to pick it up based on my opinion of Eat, Pray, Love.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346831263230175202.post-14103651212285134442008-08-31T23:58:00.000-07:002008-08-31T23:58:00.000-07:00Thanks for your review Mari.
