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 BEST SELLER??? on
Helpful Score: 1


I have decided that when a book reaches the best seller list it is time for me to reconsider reading it. Every time I read a best seller I am disappointed. Maybe I expect too much!! To me this book was very similar to Under The Tuscan Sun; Not so much in the story line itself but in the overall style of the book.

I felt that I could be reading a day in the life of anyone but this woman happened to be in Italy, India and Indonesia. So what? It would be as if I wrote a whole book on my recent vacation to Mexico. I did plenty of eating, some yoga and some reflection while I was there. I don't need to write 300 pages to tell you that I gained some weight, felt good about the exercise I was doing for my body with the yoga and the exercise I did for my mind while meditating on a raft in a pool.
