Are the people who are throwing the book across the room and angry at her being selfish in divorcing her husband also people who have been divorced? Just curious...

I couldn't get past page 5 of that book; but read "The Signature of All Things" without realizing it was the same author, and it was so good, I wonder if really the same author.

I can watch the film, but I cannot ever read that self-obsessed book again.

Yes to this! I can watch the movie (even though I dislike both Elizabeth Gilbert and Julia Roberts), mainly for the scenery in Bali and Javier Bardem. The book was intolerable.

I felt the opposite. LOVED the book. hated the movie, except i could watch Javier Bardem all day long...

I couldn't get very far in the book either because she was so unlikeable. I remember thinking when they cast Julia Roberts, whom I can't stand, that she was perfect. Haven't seen the movie.
