Query: Had to force myself to finish this book

I bought this book at a used book sale to benefit our local hospital. I am SO glad I did not pay more than $2 for it. I really wanted to like this book, but I found myself struggling to finish it. I have read at least 3 other books since having begun Eat, Pray, Love. While the author is a good writer, the story painfully drug on. At first, I encouraged myself to keep reading because perhaps I hadn't given it enough time to "take off." When I realized it wasn't going to get any better, I foreced myself to keep reading just for the sake of finishing. I am in full agreement that this woman used her divorce to catapult her career -- her book idea molded her trip (with the oh-so-convenient advance) and not the other way around.
