Helpful Score: 1

This author is candid, funny and engaging throughout her story. She flows rhythmically fromone place and one topic to the next. This is almost a self-help book, as she describes so keenly her journey to find herself.

At times, she seems self-absorbed and irritatingly naive in her descriptions of her interactions with others (and herself). But I found my mouth watering from her descriptions of the food. I found myself trying meditation after she told about her experiences. And I found myself looking at my beloved in a new and more open way as she described her lover. in short, she is easy to relate to (because she doesn't hide her own warts or her powers).

When I looked at the title of this book, it turned me off. I thought the book sounded pointless, from the subtitle of her "search for everything", across 3 unrelated countries. She does have a ramblingway of spiraling in on her points, though. She does get there. I found myself reading it until my eyes crossed in bed at night, then again as I cooked oatmeal for my breakfast. Highly recommended.
