Below are the group members' comments about this work.
SUE: None of us would probably be lucky enough to travel like that. But the language would be a big barrier and a lot would be lost in translation. I would recommend to a middle-aged woman who's trying to change her life. I did not particularly like the book.
GEORGIANNA: I did not buy the premise of the book--going away for a whole year to find yourself. My word for De Soto: HOME.
LAURA: I didn't enjoy the book at all and wouldn't recommend it. My word for De Soto: COMFORTABLE.
MARILYN: I just got hungry [reading it]. My word for De Soto: SECURE.
ANNE: I did not like it and would not recommend it. My word for De Soto: SECURE.
MAYE: I have read better. It was okay but I would not recommend it. My word(s) for De Soto: SAFE and SECURE.
BRENDA: I liked finding out more about meditating. I would not recommend it. My word for De Soto: OPTIONAL (could live somewhere else).
VENITA: It is well-written. She seems like a hippy from the 60s trying to find herself. My word for De Soto: SCARY.
VICKI: I did not like the first part but the part about Indonesia was not too bad. I would not recommend it. My word for De Soto: HAPPY.
