I've heard a lot of criticism of "Eat, Pray, Love" and after reading it I've come to the conculsion that while some of the ciritism holds weight, the book is still very enjoyable. Elizabeth Gilbert is not everyones cup of tea - she kind of embodies the sterotype of the clueless elitist looking to escape a life that most people in the world can only dream of. Still, despite this I found her fairly likeable and authentic. The first and third portion of the book are most entertaining - I got a little bit bored in India. At the end of the day, I'd recommend it.
