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 Lamott's hip, yoga-practicing, footloose younger sister") is poised to garner yet more adoring fans.
my favorite book 
This is my favorite book. It's hilarious and deeply spiritual at the same time. It changed my life. I read it through once, and then I immediately read it a second time. I've never done that before!
couldn't put it down 
I've never written a book review before....and then I read all of the horrible reviews already left for "Eat, Pray, Love" and was really surprised. This book has been a complete joy to read, and I plan on reading it again as soon as I finish the last chapter. I don't see a problem with the author always talking about herself in the book....the title has "One Woman's search..." in it, so of course it's going to be about her!
I think this book is beautiful and very relaxing to read because I see a lot of myself in Elizabeth's personality and struggles.
If only... 
I recieved this book as a christmas present and didn't read it for about 7 months. I had gone through a sad break up and had moved half way across the country to start anew. I got a new job and decided to finally read this book. I am so glad I did. I recognized myself in so many of the author's feelings about her divorce and and the mental anguish a break up puts you through. I loved the Italy part and had a fondness for India, but I felt pretty detached when it came to Bali. Overall I found this book to be an easy enjoyable read and I will be recomending it to all of my friends.
