| |  | Books | Home » » Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia | | | | | | | Description: | | 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. | | | Features: | |

 Good condition!Jul 29, 2010
I got the book fairly quickly (under two weeks) and it came in great condition. I felt like I was reading a brand new book.

 Enlightening Page-TurnerJul 28, 2010
I have read a variety of intensely negative reviews here on this site and--although I value the opinions of others--I think they are misdirected. Let's not judge whether the facts of her life are true or not true. For one thing, I think every experience she records seems authentic and true-to-life. She worked in Public Relations; so I'm sure she has learned to be good with people and I don't find it hard to believe that she has developed international relationships. I am really enjoying this book, and I think it is enlightening without having to be a tedious read. Is this brainless literature? I don't think so. On the contrary, I think Elizabeth Gilbert has mastered her strong wit enough to provide some substantial literature. I'm sure many would argue, but I know brainless literature (Stephenie Meyer), and this is not it. It is obvious that there are stronger, more prepared writers out there, but Elizabeth Gilbert's confidence and directness in her written work is good enough for me. I have been on retreats with strangers for a mere week and I have managed to meet some interesting characters. It is very likely that Liz has met and related with the people she affectionately regards to in her book, since she was in a Meditation Retreat for a few months. These events in her life are very, very likely. Has she probably over-emphasized and exaggerated some scenarios and events? Probably; but that, my friends (as an effective writer), is her job. I trust her enough to let her shine a bit of light on my own life and help me try to find some meaning. Instead of criticizing her work, I think readers should exercise some compassion, understanding, and awareness. These philosiphies she so strongly embraces are true (read it in any book) and are highly effective to those wishing to find spiritual fulfillment. If you're just going to judge, I say you acknowledge the meaning behind her newfound knowledge instead of bashing her prose and the credibility of her work.

GREAT BOOK - HOPE THE MOVIE IS AS GOODJul 27, 2010
The book follows one woman's journey to leave her past behind and grow into her present and future. I truly enjoyed the book. For someone who has undertaken major changes in life before and is contemplating another, it was both enlightening and encouraging. I highly recommend this book!!
