When award-winning author Elizabeth Gilbert traded in her apartment keys, wedding ring and earthly possessions for a year-long solo trip around the world, she had in mind nothing less than a total rejuvenation of mind, body and spirit. Eat, Pray, Love is Gilbert’s engrossing chronicle of that year. In Rome, she studied the art of pleasure, gaining the twenty-three happiest pounds of her life. Moving on to India, she embarked on four uninterrupted months of spiritual exploration. And in Bali, she studied the art of balance between worldly enjoyment and divine transcendence. An intoxicating memoir of renewal, Eat, Pray, Love will touch a nerve in anyone who’s ever felt the overwhelming desire to leave it all behind.

I agree with those reviews I read - this book is BORING with a capital B. I only got through 2 chapters and threw it in the trash. I am 70 years old, don't have time for "woe is me" women!!
Reviewer: Bobbie
This book is extremely self indulgent...boring...and doesn't really relate to anyone else's outlook or experience. She whines about being so broke from her divorce, yet found the money to travel around the world - for an entire year no less. Get real. I think eventually we'll find this was all a fantasy, and not a true account of anything.

I have never read, such a more boring book. How did this ever get on the Best Sellers list. Cannot even bring my self to read the rest of this more than Depressing tale.

This is one of the worst books I have ever tried read.I coundn't stand the character she is a spoiled whiney dependant weak woman...UGGG I couldn't get through Italy . I was wondering if it was just me so I looked up the reviews. I wished I would of read them first! The title is GREAT and then to know there is a movie with Julia so I just took it for granted it was a good book. I will watch the movie when it comes to Red Box . I have no idea how they made a movie out of this.
Reviewer: Diann
how, just like real-life' this is NOT. Why is it that in the real world divorced women and children live hand-to-mouth whilst authors try to shovel the idea that the divorced women can travel around the world to "find themselves"; just like the movie of Tuscany. She too divorced; took only a small box of things w/her; left all her worldy goods to her X & the young woman he left his wife for then, traveled to Italy and managed to buy an Italian Village??? What world DO some others live in? It certainly is NOT the real world all those hungry children live in.
Don't waste your time or money on this one it is NOT in ANYWAY entertaining as was "Under the Tuscan Sun". At least 'she' had a very well paying job which was obviously NOT subsided buy her husbands lack of permanent income.
