Committed

Our book group just finished reading Committed by Elizabeth Gilbert; also the author of Eat Pray Love. My recommendation is to not waste your time and money reading Committed.

Many of our book club members had mixed opinions about Eat Pray Love; and since some of us really enjoyed it, we decided to give her new book a try. The results were that everyone in our group despised it. The author's story just didn't seem to go anywhere. She seemed to keep circling back to the same question "shoud I get married?" over and over again.

She tried a creative approach by seeking out women from different cultures to gain an understanding about their views, opinions and customs of marriage. Even still, as a reader you didn't come away with any deep, thought provoking ideas.

Throughout the entire story the author wondered about getting married and why to do it. I expected some grand epiphany on Elizabeth Gilbert's part and held out hope that she would have learned to appreciate something about marriage. But it never happened.

She still leaves you with the question of why she bothered to marry again. And basically leaves you frustrated and annoyed as a reader.

Buy it!
