I loved this book. The first few images of the book were so hilariously real to (my) life. It had me hooked from the start. Very life affirming. I sent this book round robin to several of my girlfriends and to my mother. A woman's must read, in my opinion.

I loved this entire series. Every little girl should read these books. Not exactly Secret Garden or Anne of Green Gables, but very cute, very funny and pokes its nose at the typical princess stories.

I have found another favorite author. This book is charming. I loved the dialog and speech used to amplify the main character. Several things I have heard my grandparents let slip when they refer back to their early days. Absolutely charming.

I loved this book. The main character is a hoot and I loved the pop culture references. She reminded me of one of my best friends)and myself at some points). Fun, easy read.


Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia
Review Date: 4/9/2008


I enjoyed this book. I am truly jealous of her stint in Italy. Not as fun as some other books I have read, but in many places gave me something to think about whether it be love, religion, or life in general. For me, it wasn't a "couldn't put it down" kind of a book, but it still was worth reading.

For me this was a slow read. Seemed an accurate templar telling, but I did not find it at all exciting. Interesting, but it did not keep my attention.

Easy to read, light romance. I loved the interactions of the multigenerational family women even more than the love story.

Honestly, while reading this book, I felt like I had tripped into a motivational seminar where everyone tells you this inspiring story and then tries to sell you all of their books, tapes, and T-shirts. I do agree with the main point of the book. Nevertheless I feel it is very overrated and overly hyped for what it is.

If my toddler had his way, I would be reading this book five to ten times a day. He loves the sing-song of this book over the other Dr. Suess books by far, and that says a lot.
