   Summary: Hysterical, Insightful, A Great Read
This book was suggested to me by my friend, since she had recommended it I was expecting a story that I would enjoy. Before I finished the third page, I was in love. Gilbert's voice as a narrator is one of the most charming and engaging I've ever encountered, she shares with you her personal quest in such a way that also offers insight into your own life. I borrowed the book from the library first, but ordered it online soon after because this is definitely a book I'm going to want to read again.

   Summary: Great book
This is a great book. It is hard to put down. Easy read. I love traveling to Italy, Indonesia and India with Elizabeth.

 Rating 1   Written on November 12, 2008
   Summary: Could she be any more self-absorbed?
In real life, I try to like everybody or find something likeable about everybody I spend any amount of time with. If I met the author, I would run in the opposite direction. If you're lonely, depressed, or going through a difficult time and cannot get a publisher's advance to travel the world for a year to come to terms with your problems (in other words, if you are anybody but the author), then this book won't be helpful. A little practical advice on dealing with the same problems would have been welcome, but practicality seems to be one of the few words Gilbert is unfamiliar with.

   Summary: Best.Book.Ever.
I've been reading books for a (relatively!)long time and few have affected me as warmly and deeply as this one. Liz Gilbert is so brutally honest about her personal journey through time and space and spiritual reality, it's hard to imagine that not every single reader would not fall madly in love with this amazing piece of literature.

For one thing, Gilbert isn't even a tiny bit shy about revealing her many personal weaknesses and challenges -- and in so doing, effectively inspires ordinary folk into attempting the extraordinary. Not that these are be-all, end-all pursuits for all of us, but before reading this much-celebrated memoir, I never seriously considered visiting India or meditating.

Loved the vibrant, humorous and candid descriptions of the entertaining characters who populated Gilbert's colorful travels through Italy, India and Bali almost as much as her resonating observations about beautiful/imperfect human nature. And all in laymen's terms, too. Come on! When was the last time most of us read something about '"evil" being the ego's trick to see ourselves as separate beings' and really 'got it'? (speaking for myself, never!)

Those who knock Eat, Love, Pray for being self-indulgent or superficial, must be confusing it with some other book.

Certainly not for everybody, but if you enjoy personal and honest examinations about the pursuit of self and spiritual wholeness, this book's definitely worth checking out.


 Rating 3   Written on November 10, 2008
   Summary: A good read for any woman searching for something more
I truly enjoyed this book. Is it sappy?..yes, a little. Narcissitic?...maybe, a little. Offensive?...not to me, not even a little.

When I read this book I was going through a very difficult time in my own life. While I didn't have the money to take a year off from life, I read this book and allowed myself to be carried off through the authors enlightening journey. I had so many of the same questions, the same thoughts, and too many same experiences sobbing on the bathroom floor.

I found the ironic, sarcastic humor funny and perfectly timed and the authors experiences and frustrations with the healing process genuine.

This may not be a book all women can enjoy, but if you are in a hard place, struggling to find yourself, exploring spirtuality, or if you just enjoy reading a book about travels to interesting places; keep on open mind and give it a try.
