“Should i read this book?”
“This is a book which gives you the true meaning of serenity, it's a must read since it just have so many different aspects covered. Loved it and inspired me in some ways.... You should try it for yourself”
“I think a lot of you missed the boat and while I am still reading it - I think India is quite amusing. Haven't any of you sat and tried to meditate and found your mind wandering every which direction and having arguments with yourself? I could care less how someone is able to go to places, contracts, etc. as I think you loose the flavor of what's going on. That little 18 year old Indian girl was hysterical. My take on her addiction to God was really funny the way Liz presented her. While I'm not a Budhist, I still found myself being transported and with a lot less calories then Italy. 'I have to admit I never had a desire to go to Italy until reading this book. This is place is a pain trying to get books in the right shelf.”
“I started this book two times, and both it felt more like a chore than a fun reading experience. I guess it just depends on your interests, but this seemed more of a story-of-my-life than anything else.”
“I agree with many of the comments here: I breezed through the Italy section (and liked it a lot), but gave up in the India section. I felt that Gilbert obsessed incessantly over spirituality in the India section. Her ramblings on Kundalini snake peeking from her pelvis and how the Sanskrit hymns were completely defeating her were just too much to take; if there ever is a way to attain peace through spirituality, I'd bet obsessing over it would not be it. I seldom feel happy giving up on a book. But for this one, I am. More of my review here: http://rajisramblings.blogspot.com/2008/05/eat-pray-love.html”
“I thought the author was a little silly. She actually annoyed me for much of the first part of the book. But worth reading I suppose. I just don't understand how she had the money to travel the world and not work for several months, when she talks about being so financially devasted from the divorce. I dunno, I had to keep picking it up and putting it down, so maybe I missed that part somewhere along the way. I know many people who think this book is fabulous though. Huh.”
“ditto to liz c. i haven't read the book yet, but i plan to. but i have a feeling i'm going to feel the same way! my ancestors are from Italy, so i am so intrigued by that part of the book. but i feel i will prob lost interest in the India part, as well. i'll let you know, after i read it.”
“Get it from the library. I enjoyed the part about Italy, but lost interest in India”
“I enjoyed this and found some inspiration in her words. Italy was the best for me and everything else was good but a bit long winded. I still enjoyed her story and journey though.”
“Don't read this. Take your own journey!”
