 Attraversiamo, 2006-05-18
Everything about this book was beautiful and well written. Ms. Gilbert brings the reader with her through all parts of the journey- the good, the bad and the pasta. When you reach the end, you feel as if a good friend has written you a letter that you want to read over and over again.

Who doesn't yearn & hurt & brood & enjoy food & love & need to communicate with whoever they call God?, 2006-05-16
I just adored this audio book. Over the week I listened I had the greatest time. I had to write the author! To me Eat Pray Love is a perfect mix of serious life questions & humor. I love the way the author articulates the many things I've felt & didn't have words for. She organizes feelings & yearnings so clearly. She's so honest & vulnerable & courageous to take the trip let alone spend the time to tell us about it. What a personal risk. And gracefully she succeeds on all levels. I told her, Eat Pray Love is a masterpiece. You nailed it, the human experience, the intricacies of life, the inner workings of the heart, the tangled ramblings of the mind. Wow! Wow! Wow! Your book is a gift. It's a guide for people to save themselves from their own minds." I've grown from Elizabeth Gilbert's experiences. Thank you, thank you Liz.

Liz, thank you for writing this book., 2006-05-07
This book brought up many of the emotions that I experienced in my own divorce and the narrative is so beautifully written that I loved every word. This one is a keeper and will be revisted again and again. I encourage all women to read this fine book.

Enthralling, 2006-05-06
Reading this memoir of Elizabeth Gilbert's soul-searching trip around the world is both inspiring and uplifting. It is so beautifully written that one feels as though they have escaped into the private diary of a charismatic young woman in search of herself but at the same time the book works to help others who find themselves in similiar situations of feeling lost in the world. Essentially what Gilbert has created with EAT, PRAY, LOVE is a memoir that reads both like a novel and a self-help book. Gilbert was a finalist for the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle for her previous work. The strength of her prose lies in its ability to evoke clear and beautiful images with the turn of a phrase. A highly recommended read.

 Ultimately disappointing, 2006-05-04
This book starts out wonderfully. The writer is smart, funny, and the woman can write! She says, early on in her travels, that she can make friends with anyone, and you believe her because she is so engaging and vibrant, and her stories are compelling and fun to read. You are willing to listen to her say just about anything because she says it in such an entertaining way. But somewhere, in the middle of the book I started to get tired of the stories. Everything works out, nothing goes wrong, and there appears to be very little true soul searching below the surface. The book is being hailed as a spiritual journal, but it really never gets below the veneer of anecdotes. The author is good company, but her journey is ultimately disappointing.
