I tried. Really.
Usually I love travel books. But I just couldn't get into this one.
Ok, the first third of the book, where the author travels to Italy, was good. I really thought I would enjoy the rest.
Then came the second portion. She divided the book up into 36 chapters each, 108 total, for a special number. My belief system is so different than what she describes and explains and goes on about that I found myself wondering when this section would be over. I actually skipped many pages. (The book gets done faster that way.)
And then yesterday, even when she went on to the last third, travel to Indonesia, I gave up. No more.
The travel stuff is fun and she is a very honest, witty writer. I laughed aloud at some things.
But the religious viewpoints just grated my teeth. Especially in such great detail.
I'd pass on this one. I know. It's a movie, etc. That's why I thought I would read it - travel, movie - then go see it.
Guess not.
Not a keeper. Be putting it back on the PaperBackSwap exchange site.
