Committed – Elizabeth Gilbert a review

on October 10, 2011

I thoroughly enjoyed Eat Pray Love and have been wanting to read Committed for a while now. Even though listening to other peoples opinions of the book, saying its nothing like her bestseller and not as good, I still wanted to read it. And now I have.

And even though, other peoples opinions were correct in saying that it was nothing like her bestseller, I enjoyed it. I am not a huge marriage person. I have never coveted the big white wedding, the whole idea of marriage just makes me squirm so it was almost revelatory that someone else was even more squirmish of marriage than I was!

It was interesting in that she really delves into the history of the institute of marriage. How it came about and at the end how she makes peace with it and marries for the second time. I think if you are in any way interested in the whole marriage thing, you will enjoy this book though bear in mind, that it is nothing like Eat Pray Love! Even I could possibly, get married, after reading this book.

And now, what next to read, I really do need some recommendations, please!
