I really want to give it 3.5 stars. A lot of it was interesting and thought-provoking, but in other parts, it was very rambling. I enjoy Elizabeth Gilbert books overall, though, and look forward to some more.

Full review to follow, but let's just say my issues with references and citations were never resolved. THAT sucked royally, no matter what I may have felt about the rest of the book (some good, some bad, not as good as other, very similar books).

I was not a big fan of Gilbert's previous ultra-bestselling book E,P,L. So I was in no hurry to read this one. But after a friend recommended it a couple of months ago, I decided I might as well try it. Gilbert examines the institution of marriage from just about every angle you can imagine. Starting as a cynic about marriage, she eventually and somewhat surprisingly makes her peace with it by the end. I found it fascinating, with just the right mix of research and personal anecdote. Great book.

If you didn't like "Eat, Pray, Love" chances are you won't like "Committed". I found this book informative, well written and entertaining. It dispels the fairy tail image of marriage and paints a refreshing and realistic image.

Just like [b:Eat, Pray, Love|19501|Eat, Pray, Love|Elizabeth Gilbert|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1269870432s/19501.jpg|3352398], Gilbert has taken major life changes in a woman's life and dissected, disassembled and digested them. A fascinating, page turner.
