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.

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 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.

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...
