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 Amazing memoir! on


Incredible prose with a great sense of wit. The author describes her journey of self-discovery in a way that makes me want to take my own such journey. She leaves what seems to be her fairy-tale life, digs herself out of a debilitating depression, then sets out to find pleasure in Italy, devotion in India, and balance between the two in Bali. She's honest and real, and gives all of us 30-somethings the hope that we're really not too old to learn new tricks and to discover, at the end of it all, ourselves. Happiness is ours for the taking--we just have to make our happiness first.
