 SO SO AT BEST May 15, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Being a commercial writer myself, books like this make me wonder if I'm missing something because this book is really not very interesting. It left me feeling that most readers who enjoy such a story must be living a very superficial existence because this is exactly what this story describes, even taking into consideration its lightweight overtures to some vague kind of spiritual dimension working behind the mundane goings on of everyday life. If you're looking to hear about something new and inspirational and exciting I would not recommend that you read eat, pray and love.
 Loved this Book... May 14, 2008

I loved this book, though I have to admit I was a little disappointed with the ending. It's clear that her life became more important than her writing there. And that was ok with me. I cannot get over the people who didn't like the book. It's her life and her account. Who the hell are they to call her or it vapid. I'd like to see them write a book.
Ok, that's my peace
 Good idea gone astray! May 14, 2008

I made it through to the end unlike some other reviewers. I found the book to be well written and the narrative voice held my interest in a rubber-necker sort of way. I kept wondering what absurdity might appear on the next page. The story is more about the vacuous boredom some people experience when "success" means they don't really need anybody or anything. Gilbert lamented her own emotional woes without acknowledging the trail of destruction she left in her wake.
 Another narcissistic endeavor May 13, 2008

what is with all these narcissists and their books. I not only couldn't finish reading this drivel, I am returning this to amazon to get my money back. this is worse than siren's feast an edible oddessy which was also a terrible book that I managed to read 3/4s of the way through.
Should be called Eat, Pray, Cry May 13, 2008

I have to completely agree with others who felt this author was so self-absorbed that it was difficult to read this book. It was an "I feel sorry for me" book from the first page. It became difficult to continue reading about how easily she made friends and how she cried constantly, isn't that kind of incongruous? It dragged me down trying to finish the book.
