I read this book for my book club a few months ago. I can't remember details now and I have to say many of the other women weren't crazy about it, but I liked it very much. I liked Elizabeth Gilbert's writing style, nice easy-flowing. The book picked up pace once she got over her long depression in the beginning. I enjoyed her voyage through Italy most. She is very descriptive and I felt like I was actually there (though I've never been) and that trip to Naples made me hungry! I was also very moved by her trip to the Ashram in India. The peace she experienced there was meaningful and healing. And the eventual conclusion in Bali was fun and also very moving, and of course that's where the love story happens. I felt the most captivating thing about the book were the connections she made with the people she met along her journey; I loved everyone she came across and you could feel she did, too.
