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.

Not only did I find her whiney and self-absorbed, but also didn't see her as a really great writer. I almost quite half way but I hate not to finish, so I slugged through it all.There were a few interesting times in the book, but they are few and far between.Just find someone who read it and ask them to recap their favorite paragraph and you're done.
Rating:  - UNrealistic
While parts of this book make for a good read, it is hard to believe that such a spastic person has everything work out for just in time to write a book.If you must read this, skip the
Rating: - Naval gazinf but surprisingly excellent
This was chosen for our book club and I was reticent as I do not enjoy books on religion and I was worried that she'd be very preachy, thankfully, she's not.Yes, she does an astounding amount of naval gazing but she is self-depracating and quite humorous.I loved, loved, loved the first section in Italy and so agreed with many of her observations, Pray was hard since she's just so determined to put herself through some tremendous mind hurtles to get to a state of enlightnement, then Love, is a beautiful ...
