Condition: Well read. It's been passed around to all my friends, one of whom wrote some phone numbers on the back cover in pencil. The flyleaf and a couple of pages following are wrinkled, and the cover has a few dings. Binding is tight and there's a lot of life left! I ship within three days using delivery confirmation where available.

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 Lamotts hip, yoga- practicing, footloose younger sister) is poised to garner yet more adoring fans.

 Great Book! Couldn't put it down until I finished. July 23, 2008

From beginning to end I was fascinated with this book. I think it is a great book for any woman to read. Immediately after I finished it I mailed it to my mom to read and told her when she was finished to give it to another woman. It was insightful,funny, and easy to relate to. I cannot wait to read another one of her books!
 I think she grew as a person July 19, 2008

I love travel, personal search for meaning books and although, this wasn't a great book, it was entertaining and I think she grew as a person, some of the country observations were nice. A nice book--don't agree that is has great spiritual insight, but we are on a search for meaning. This is one woman's search.. Perfect for plane travel

This is the best book i've read in a while. I could not let it go. She has great sense if humor as well as honesty.
I can't recommend it more.
 Tripe anyone? July 19, 2008

I made the mistake of buying this book to take to the hospital where my 10 year old daughter was "living" for two months while they figured out how to eradicate an infection threatening her spinal fluid. So, to be fair, only something very profound could have matched the situation, but, this, decidedly, was a grossly shallow and unfortunate miscalculation on my part.
The woman is a garden variety neurotic. Irritating. Period. And reading her journey is about as appealing as digging into a steaming bowl of entrails. They look good, but, in the end, we know what they are and that makes them hard to swallow.
I wish a publisher would say, screw the money...Elizabeth dear, get thee to a shrink and quit boring us all. (By the way, I never made it to India with this woman...I ran screaming midway through Italy) I would have given it one star, but I found the tiny strings of Italian palatable.
 disappointing and shallow July 19, 2008

I agreed with all the negative reviews. It was self fulfilled prophecy when the author found herself on this trip to 'find herself' as she got a book advance - not divine intervention.
She spends the book hemming and hawing about her breakups, and ends her year of self reflection and correction by attaching herself to another man.
The writing was quirky and amusing - but its unfortunate and aggravating to learn this much about her shallowness and insecurities.
