Product 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.

 Eat Pray Love - lighthearted, witty and entertaining September 6, 2010
Trista Morrison (San Diego, CA)
According to the reviews on this site, people seem to love or hate Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat Pray Love. The story follows the author's quest to put herself back together again after an early mid-life crisis, a quest that takes her to Italy in search of pleasure (the culinary type, not the romance novel type), to India in search of spirituality, and to Bali in search of a way to balance the two. As many reviews complain, Gilbert is no hero - she can be seflish and whiny. But I don't think that stops the book from being a joy to read. Gilbert's writing is laugh out loud witty, and her adventures (after the drama of her divorce) make for a light, entertaining beach read. I say accept this book for what it is (not a travel guide, nor a spiritual guide), and you will probably be pleased.

I too could not stomach finishing this book. The maudlin style reminded me of a similar over-rated piece "The Bridges of Madison County". If that was your thing, go ahead...It is not mine! A ridiculous "romp" through foreign countries with a "money is no object" theme. "Oh,which man shall choose?" The book 'Tales of Female Nomad' by Rita Gelman is a much better written book with a realistic eye about money and romance. I so do not recommmend this book unless you are a shallow, insecure person.

The book arrived at the time promised and was in good condition. After reading this book, I would not recommend it because of how slowly it reads. However, the site I purchased the book from was very reliable and I would deal with them again.
