Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia by Elizabeth Gilbert


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book was very good in many ways, but disappointing in others. Overall, a fun read, especially to anyone who has traveled in Italy and studied the language like myself. I also very much enjoyed her spiritual journey and descriptions. My one complaint- I kept thinking "well boo hoo for you" about the author. The entire journey being by definition self-indulgent was frustrating to a degree. While probably every one of us would love to take the journey and the time and spend the money she did, my thoughts are: How can a real life lead to "discovering" oneself? That seems a more appropriate question.
