I finally got around to reading this by checking it out as a library ebook on my nook. I have to be honest - I wasn't expecting much - when something is soooo popular I tend to have pretty low expectations. ;)

Having said that - I pretty much loved it. I had no idea it would be so laugh-out-loud funny! Gilbert has such a relaxed, conversational yet brutally honest way of writing. I found it to be totally engaging the whole way through. ...more

If you like stories of faux-spirituality from an incredibly self-absorbed woman, then this is the book for you! Elizabeth Gilbert takes us with her on her journey to three different locales to cope with her failed marriage and subsequent boyfriend as well as "finding" herself. If that isn't enough to entice you, we also find out that she is extremely clingy and generally unstable. Now that you're roped in, let's proceed...

The three places she goes on her journey are Italy, India, and Indonesia. ...more

I really REALLY enjoyed this book. I got so much out of it, and it came at a perfect time, for me. It came at a time that I was feeling over-extended, taken-advantage-of, and over-booked. Before I started the book...the day before, in fact...I had decided that it was time for me to not feel selfish about taking ME time and using it. Often. Imagine how happy I was when I completed the first section of this book (the "eat" part, lol). READ THIS BOOK! Listen to it. Breath it in and enjoy. ...more

Awakening and inspiring. I enjoyed the eat portion, I learned much from the pray portion, and I grew as a human being from the love portion. This book has inspired me to be such a better human being. I am copying many passages from the book into a small journal to keep close at hand as a reminder and for further inspiration.
