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 Lamott's hip, yoga-practicing, footloose younger sister") is poised to garner yet more adoring fans.

5 out of 5 stars 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!


4 out of 5 stars She's a great writer!   July 20, 2008
 1 out of 5 found this review helpful

I'm not done reading this book, but what I've read so far has given me enough to know that she is an extraordinary writer. You get that within the first 10 pages. I think all the bad reviews are coming from people who probably thought they were going to get lost in a romantic book about traveling the world. It probably doesn't do it justice to list it in the travel section of book stores. She's very clever and has a very sharp wit. It's truly insightful and funny. Her analogies create great imagery. But maybe best of all are her masterful descriptions of what goes on in her mind about herself. I think the naysayers who were looking to read about traveling would be best to stick to the abundantly informative yet robotic accounts of Rick Steves.


3 out of 5 stars I think she grew as a person   July 19, 2008
 1 out of 3 found this review helpful

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


5 out of 5 stars Could not put it down for a secon   July 19, 2008

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.



2 out of 5 stars 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.
