Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia

From: $4.90

This beautifully written, heartfelt memoir touched a nerve among both readers and reviewers. Elizabeth Gilbert tells how she made the difficult choice to leave behind all the trappings of modern American success (marriage, house in the country, career) and find, instead, what she truly wanted from life. Setting out for a year to study three different aspects of her nature amid three different cultures, Gilbert explored the art of pleasure in Italy and the art of devotion in India, and then a balance between the two on the Indonesian island of Bali. By turns rapturous and rueful, this wise and funny author (whom Booklist calls “Anne Lamott's hip, yoga- practicing, footloose younger sister”) is poised to garner yet more adoring fans.

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 25, 2008 Type: User Review Don't waste the money

I could not finish this book. The section on "eating" in Italy was interesting as far as hearing about the food and language. The "praying seciton" started to bog down. Not a page-turner book at all. Several friends just could not finish it...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 24, 2008 Type: User Review Pathetic

This book was written by an unhappy narcissistic woman who is an utter bore. Another classic example of many of the women I encounter daily. We are living in a society where being totally self-absorbed has become the norm, it is so sad we have...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 24, 2008 Type: User Review Good story if you relate the lessons to your own situation

I loved this book (on CD).

I felt like I was along for the ride; walking through the streets of Italy or scrubbing a tile floor in the Ashram.

I don't know that I would have enjoyed the written word as much I enjoyed her...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 23, 2008 Type: User Review Beautiful and Insightful

As a certified life coach, I can attest to precisely how much growth, insight and self-development was achieved by Ms. Gilbert in the journey she documents in this marvelous book. Of course, that self-awareness and discovery was begun years ago...

This book was amazing. I have read many reviews that say the Liz Gilbert came off as selfish. I would have to disagree. This book is about Liz finding herself and I appreciated that the novel focused solely on her. I found this book...

I am an avid reader so I joined a book club. This book was on the list so, I bought it. I have had a hard time getting into it even though, I too, after my divorce went with a friend to Italy. It is probably just not my type of book, very slow,...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 20, 2008 Type: User Review Add my voice to the chorus of fans

This is a book about ecstatic experiences -- eating, feeling infused by God, and falling in love. What's not to like about it?

Gilbert does get a bit sentimental at points, and her multiple, vague uses of the "God" notion do annoy a...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 20, 2008 Type: User Review Fantastic read

This book is incredibly well written, the writer has the gift to connect whoever reads the book with the story. It does not matter if you are religious or spiritual, you will connect with her in so many ways. Best book I've read in a very long...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 19, 2008 Type: User Review "Look for God the way a man with his head on fire looks for water."

Very insightful bits in it, but mostly a "chick flick" if it was turned into a movie. However, being a chick, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think a lot of people are like, "she's surrounded by poverty and all kinds of depravation and all she can...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 18, 2008 Type: User Review the world according to Gilbert

The friend who lent me this book worried that I might not love it as much as she does, because I'm a guy and it has a feminine focus.

A few pages in, I began to see what my friend meant, but I'm flexible. OK, so I find someone who...
