Committed
by Elizabeth Gilbert
I actually enjoyed this book much more than _Eat, Pray, Love_. I know, I
know- what is my problem?
Well, I actually found the author to be quite whiny in the first memoir,
but in this one, her humor is much less bitter, and more robust.
I think that this is due in part to her falling in love with Felipe and
peacefully co-inhabiting with him for a year.
This memoir, rather than focusing on finding love, deals with what to do
when marriage is being forced down your throat be the Homeland Security
Department.
Gilbert then proceeds to interrogate women from different ethnicities,
religions, and cultures on their thoughts on and traditions of marriage.
Full of insight, I felt that this book was very informative, and still
had a good plot to it rather than merely being a history of marriage
throughout the world.
If you loved her first book, then you'll love this one as well.
