Carole's review of Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia
Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia by Elizabeth Gilbert
The book was overall pretty good. I felt that it celebrated the author's divorce in strange ways--meaning, since she never gave any good reason for her divorce, I felt that her neuroticism was a natural consequence, and I got a bit tired of the ranting about her pain and lack of ability to get over it. It seemed odd to me, being a Christian, and she too, that she could justify her finally "sitting in the palm of God's hand" and go off having an affair with man she wasn't married to. That bothered me. Was there really any plan to commit to him even at the end? What I did love is Ms. Gilbert's writing style--that is the only way I got through the whole thing. After the Italy trip, I got a little bit bored except for her prose. Glad it's over....
