 my new favorite!, 2008-10-27
I LOVED this book! I borrowed it from the local library after seeing it in almost every store I entered, then after reading about 2 chapters, I knew it was one I had to own so I could lend it to everyone else!
Gilbert brings you into her life at apoint when she is completely miserable, not because she has a horrible marriage but simply because she finds herself in the middle of a life she so does not want. You follow her along through a year's time where she gets herself out of the marriage, finds herself and heals herself.
I have never run across a book where I was ready to start it all over again the same day I finished it.... but this one was it for me.

This book is so damn funny!, 2008-10-26
I was dubious about this book, but I needed something not too demanding to make it through jury duty. I sat in a crowded room for two hours next to a fidgeting, groaning woman with halitosis and I hardly even noticed. Elizabeth Gilbert can write. I'm going to read epl again just for the metaphors.
Why wouldn't a memoir be self-absorbed? Aren't they supposed to be? Read _Three Cups of Tea_, by all means. But when you want to bust out laughing, read this.

 Not for me.., 2008-10-25
Everyone loved this book, and while I live my life to eat, pray and love.. She wasn't on the same page with me. She gives up on her marriage in the first chapter. Then she sleeps with a series of men. Who has money to travel to three countries, and have such a distaste for everything. I wanted to reach into the book and ring her neck. I find humor in everything, but this book just made me feel depressed. But, I should have known better.. I'm not in the Oprah book cult.
