Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia
by Elizabeth Gilbert
Boring (12/31/2009)
I found this book to be slightly on the boring side. Yes, it was engaging at times, but she really didn't delve into what I was curious about, and I really wanted to know why she left her husband after so many years. Yes, she gave some reasons such as, not satisfied...not wanting to be a mother, but that was vague and maybe because this is how she chose to write the book.

I really have no interest in reading books that focus on spirituality/Eastern Religion. I could see how this book would fascinate one, especially if they have an interest in mediation, yoga, and Guru stuff. The author seems to be very confused about her beliefs/core values.

I suggest borrowing the book, instead of buying it- save your money.
