A True Adventure - By: Colleen Messina, 16 Nov 2008 
"Eat, Pray, Love" is a true adventure as Elizabeth Gilbert travels the worldin search of Enlightenment. She beautifully shares her humanity & her vulnerability as she relaxes into her life. Her love for languages & food are full of passion as her descriptions of both are poetic & mouth-watering. Elizabeth Gilbert's true story & her search for well-being makes a fantastic story.
In my own search, I have found what Elizabeth Gilbert had set out to find,in Ariel & Shya Kanes' books, Working on Yourself Doesn't Work: The 3 Simple Ideas That Will Instantaneously Transform Your Life, How to Create a Magical Relationship: The 3 Simple Ideas that Will Instantaneously Transform Your Love Life: The 3 Simple Ideas That Will Instantaneously Transform Your Love Life, & Being Here: Modern Day Tales of Enlightenment. I love that I can vicariously live through Elizabeth Gilbert's words, feeling like I lived her experiencein Italy, India & Indonesia. And I love that I have found the life-style of well-being by reading the Kanes' booksin the luxury of my own home. It's nice that the search is over.
Do not waste your money! - By: Dewar, 18 Oct 2008 
I ordered this book as I read the reviews on this site which led me to believe that it might actually be an interesting book.. but sadly no, I did not like it at all. It is writtenin a self-absorbed style, all about 'her'. Most people who travel do so because they want to see something of the world - all this girl needed was a mirror - this book tells you absolutely nothing about the places she visited & she travelled for one whole year!
A complete waste of time, incredibly shallow. Would not recommend to anyone & I do not understand the good reviews that it has been given.
Perfect - By: oceanswim, 10 Oct 2008 This is the most wonderful book I've ever read. She is whitty, charismatic & her insights & paths are so similar to mine I was able to relate on every page. Even if this is not similar to your path (some of my happily or newly married friends were not fussed by it) she stresses the importance of gettingin touch with who you really are & how to find you. I have bought about 10 of these books & have given them to friends around the world from all walks of life. Amazing book I give it my highest recommendation.
Inspiring and empowering - read and pass it on! - By: Diane Chan, 16 Sep 2008 Fantastic & humourous writing - couldn't put it down. Immediately passed the "wealth" to one of my best girlfriends upon completion. Every woman must read this!
I enjoyed the EAT part the best! - By: Sophie Boss, 03 Sep 2008 A lovely read & a moving tale which most women can relate to - especially the 'eat' bit where the protagonist re-discovers the jos of good food! I loved every minute of her timein Italy!
