Look what she did to James Frey, built him up only to knock him down, trying to humiliate him on tv for his 'lies'. Never trust a talk show host!Vikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08039838691449950827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272063339278297404.post-49534015800940311512010-08-26T13:24:16.406-07:002010-08-26T13:24:16.406-07:00I read this book just recently and found it intere...I read this book just recently and found it interesting on so many levels. She certainly writes beautifully and I felt really engaged with her journey of self discovery. I feel somewhat disappointed however, it seems that having Oprah champion the book has brought a huge bandwagon of supporters and an equal amount of detractors. I just wish I had read the book and ignored everything else!Aily Pailynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272063339278297404.post-3113426708843478322010-08-24T13:18:08.347-07:002010-08-24T13:18:08.347-07:00Thanks Jane.

Too often the pressure can stop us from putting pen to paper. I hope you enjoy Eat, Pray, Love:). Good luck with writing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
