I've been reading other reviews of this book and it seems to me that people either like it or hate it.
A lot of that has to do with the reader I think. I think you have to be spiritually open minded. As a Christian, I did not agree with everything she said about God, but I could relate to her humanity. She is very VERY honest in this book. She does speak of her travels, but she focuses on her own journey of personal growth in the setting of these magnificent places.
If you're after a good story, or a descriptive tale of great locales, then pass on reading this book.
If you're looking for an honest story, if you are looking to relate to another's experience in living in society with all of it's expectations, then this will be a good book for you.
Personally, the book opened my mind to a new way of thinking and it gave me an outlook on eastern religions that I am actually looking to explore further. I find other belief systems to be interesting.
I also thought the book was good in the way that she was so honest. She was honest when she admitted that she wasn't happy in her marriage, and she was honest about how she felt as she went through the aftermath of the divorce. I appreciated that, and it made me look at how honest I am with myself. I appreciated that challenge as a reader.
