Helpful Score: 15

Elizabeth Gilbert is a privileged woman with no real problems in love with her own teenage style drama. She manages to visit countries with high poverty rates where people struggle to find food and clean drinking water and drolly jokes that it's not so bad because their life expectancy is shorter than ours. I'm disgusted that I paid for this book.

At one point this narcissistic, self-absorbed, spoiled brat of an author comes to the realization that what's going on in her head just isn't that interesting. I couldn't agree more wholeheartedly and stopped reading right there. As Oprah has said, "When someone tells you who they are, believe them. The first time."
