 Excellent Read This book was a great read. Elizabeth Gilbert views her surroundings and situations in an interesting way and it was a pleasure to read this book.  pretty annoying but slightly informative I really expected to like this book based upon all of the stellar reviews it got. May be it is my personality not matching up with hers, but I found myself incessantly irritated by the author's narcissism and sappiness. I am all for introspection and self-exploration. I have once or twice or, okay, a gazillion times, fallen prey to the itchy feet syndrome when confronted with a life crisis. I keep wondering why so many people liked this book, and it kind of reminds me of a Fried Green Tomatoes kind of thing, or maybe a Thelma and Louise thing... kind of a "you go girl" mentality. I found a lot of the information very interesting, especially regarding yoga and meditation, and it did make me think about my own spiritual life, but I couldn't help but think that maybe she was writing this book with her ex-husband and ex-lover David as an audience. Best Christmas Gift Ever!! I love this book...I am giving it as Christmas gifts for all of my friends and family!! I ate, I prayed, I loved! What an interesting title I thought when my aunt recommended this book to me. I just had to buy it and I'm glad I had. Not only does Gilbert take you through a story of growth, love and food, but she opens herself up to the reader and isn't afraid to share all her highs and painful lows. This is a book you want to read forever relishing each small chapter. The story takes you on a spiritual journey (despite of your faith or lack of it) and causes you to reflect on your own life. Not to mention the urge to take off for a year and visit the world! I enjoyed it and recommend it to all women (and a few men). Read it! | |||||||||||||
