 Written on December 1, 2008 Summary: Fun characters and an interesting journey Liz Gilbert had what many would consider to be the perfect life. She had a loving husband with whom she was trying to have a baby, she had an amazing job, and a brand new home with which her and her family could share. Unfortunately, Liz realized she was unhappy with her life when she found herself crying on the bathroom floor at three in the morning. She did not want to be married, she did not want to have a baby, she did not want her brand new house, she did not want her life. So, she got a divorce (no, it was not just that easy) and she embarked on a journey across the three I's; Italy, India, and Indonesia. Liz's writing style is witty and conversational. She's funny and forthcoming with her thoughts, fears, and feelings. She often makes her reader laugh out loud by some of her quips and metaphors. The section on Italy was full of interesting characters, historical tidbits, and delicious food. And don't forget the gorgeous Italian men and the beauty of the language. I thoroughly enjoyed every part of her four month stay in Italy. I would have been more than thrilled if the entire book was about Italy. Unfortunately, Liz needed to move on to India. India started interestingly enough but soon lost my interest. Unfortunately, I feel there is a limit to how much I can read about one person's meditation and praying practices. However, in India we meet Richard from Texas. Richard from Texas has an attitude and personality as big as the state he is from! He was funny and insightful...Liz was lucky to have found him seeing as how he helped her realize her true potential and that she could forgive and love herself. Liz finally leaves the Ashram after four months and moves on to Indonesia. In Indonesia she meets healers and expatriates. Here, Liz learns to open her heart to not only herself but to others as well. All in all I was happy to be able to take this journey with this intelligent and funny woman. Liz's account did not seem over the top as some memoirs can be but was written in a true and natural voice. I am thrilled to have been able to eat with her in Italy, pray with her in India, and finally love with her in Indonesia.  Written on December 1, 2008 Summary: Delightful I loved this book. In part, I am sure, because it reminds me of Italy's sights, smells and sounds. Also, as a woman I related to her experiences. Sometimes she made me howl with laughter, and other times I winced at her honest rendition of life's pains. This was as enjoyable as a bon bon. Most of my reading is research or other non-fiction. This departure was delightful for me, and I am so glad to have received it as a gift. It probably is not everybody's fare. I wouldn't have appreciated it when I was in my 20's, for example, nearly as much as I do now, in my 40's.  Written on December 1, 2008 Summary: Eat, Pray, Love Basically a "chick-book" where we are asked to share the adventures of a recent divorcee as she eats in Italy, prays in India and loves in Indonesia. There are interesting parts to it (for this male reviewer) but I found myself skipping over much of the more emotional gush -- will she or won't she go to bed with her Italian translator. I for one could not care less. But for those who like books where women share their inner thoughts, you could do worse than this. Written on November 24, 2008 Summary: A narcist's rant I read this book for the sole reason that it had been on the best seller list for a long time. The good thing about this book is that it shows how the author saw herself through the bad times and was able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm sure a lot of people can relate to it and learn something from it. However, it was unbearable to see everything in the book being about herself and nothing else. Her every interaction with people has a sole purpose. Herself. She talked about a girl she befriended in the ashram in India. She says that the girl wore spectacles that had broken lens but that didnt keep her from wearing it.. For some reason I got stuck on that line. Even when she supposedly falls in love, it is all about how he treats her/compliments her and such. Also, It wasn't very convincing to see someone change from one mode to another seamlessly (Eat pray love) and become oblivious of the previous mode. Written on November 23, 2008 Summary: Getting in Touch I picked up Eat, Pray and Love several times in the bookshops since it was published in 2006. I put it down. Several friends asked me: have you read the book? I hadn't. Finally, at the bookshop a few weeks ago a friend asked, you haven't read it? Let me get it for you. OK, I said. I finished reading it a few days ago. It reminded me Sarah McDonald's Holy Cow. Written in a breezy style, I felt it lacked depth. However, I was empathetic with the Gilbert's need to do what she as doing and needed to heal. The strengh of the book is that Gilbert does carry out her dreams and helps herself. Many women I know have this need, but not the courage to cary it out. For those I think the books is inspirational. It talks of following your heart and geting in touch wiht your heart. |
