Shelves: favorites

I'm not going to do a synopsis here, I'm sure it's been done. Suffice it to say this book is one of the most amazing, beautiful experiences ever put on paper. I hadn't wanted to read it intially because it was too "mainstream" "famousy" etc. Plus I thought it was a Christian read. Turns out, I was wrong and I was an idiot for not reading it a long time ago.

This goes on my top ten list of all time favorite books. Bravo, Gilbert. ...more

I found this to be a boring book. I could not relate to her journey to the ashram. It was just not something I would ever do. All in all it just was t something I could dig into and never want to put it down.

This is one of those books that seem to be either really liked or really disliked.

I disliked it. Very much.

The premise is really interesting. Searching for self and the meaning of it all by focusing on three important aspects in life: physical, spiritual and emotional needs.

Unfortunately I was never convinced by the author. Not of her initial personal pain, which set her of on this journey and not on the genuineness (is that a word?)of what she discovered on her year long search.

Basically: bored ...more

Shelves: memoir, non-fiction, chick-lit

This is a very cathartic book that I would recommend to anyone trying to process a difficult thing like a break-up. I loved the little coincidences, and it was an easy, interesting read.
