This was truly one of the most tedious and self-absorbed bios i've ever happened across It's so bad that it's actually worth checking out as there is some comic value

Sorry, after 144 pages in I thought, too many books, so little time to read something I was NOT enjoying, at all.

Written well and the story moved along.

The fact that this whole saga started out as a pitch - she presented the idea to a publisher who then paid her to travel on this “journey” - and not an organic experience rubbed me the wrong way from the beginning. When someone goes into…

“Eat, Pray, Love?” I remember that. It’s by the woman who found her husband, then wrote a best-selling book about commitment, then dumped him when she self-discovered she was a lesbian and wrote a best-seller about that. I’d rather take…

Ugh! Unrealistic, selfish, rich, self absorbed....I do not like the woman at all. Not a good book. Do not take any advice from this woman. She does not live in the real world and is delusional. I can't believe all the hype on this book.

Welp, I had heard about this book had become very popular among older ladies, and I had also been moved by the author's TedTalk on artistic work ethic and inspiration. But I was very disappointed by this book. In the beginning, she is…

Really took away the monotony from my morning commutes. I was led on a journey all across the world with Liz to find out who she is and wants to be, and in the process I find myself asking the same questions. Pretty cool.

After an embarrassingly long time reading this book (only because it was so terribly uninteresting) I finally managed to finish it. The first section - Italy is the best part of the book so if you find it hard to get through, then take my…

Eat, Pray, Love is a magnificent memoir about how facing the truth of who you want to be opens the heart and mind to the deepest secrets of the self. Gilbert’s candor and honesty feel almost confessional as she examines the pain of her…

I love this book for the adventure Liz took me on. What a great escape. I learned how to meditate, too. Bonus!

Book was boring too much into herself! India well I skipped most of it, and the only reason I went on to the Bali part was because I just got back from there and was interested to see what she had to say about it! Some folk obviously liked…

I am not sure what the hype was about, It was an easy read some aspects very touching but Elizabeth Gilberts writing can become extremely annoying. After reading this novel I have no will to read any of her other works.

I absolutely loved this book. After going through a divorce myself I could relate to so much of this book and the journey towards finding yourself again after a marriage breakdown. An inspirational read for anyone who has found themselves…

I enjoyed the first two sections, but by the third and final, Gilbert's self-indulgence becomes weary, and I was ready for her trip, and the book, to end. She does provide good descriptions and I might try one of her other books in which…

The rule Richard from Texas applies to India should also apply to this book. "Don't touch anything but yourself," and certainly not this book. After eight years of marriage, a realization that she doesn't want children, and probably…

Italy, or, "Say it like you eat it," or, 36 tales about the pursuit of pleasure -- India, or, "Congratulations to meet you," or, 36 tales about the pursuit of devotion -- Indonesia, or, "Even in my underpants, I feel different," or, 36…

I was so bored in the movie that I fell asleep. So....I didn't read this book!

over all the book has a warm, positive feel to it without being cheesy or overwrought. if you're sad, depressed, angry, disappointed... whatever.... you should read this book. it's not going to help you pay the mortgage on your…
