Book Review of Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia

Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia
reviewed So many books, so little time, don't waste your time on THIS one! on
Helpful Score: 3


I have now tried, unsuccessfully, to read this book twice. I could not relate to Gilbert's "journey". It was impossible to have any sympathy for a woman who could bank roll a year abroad to find herself. The strongest women I know, inspire me as they manage to find themselves after more adversity while juggling, kids, work, family, soccer, bills, etc. The prose was not well written, beautiful or interesting. I am reposting this book without ever getting past the middle of it. I would not recommend wasting your time.
