Is this fiction?September 7, 2010 Real enough ..... Let us all be real with ourselves. Somewhere on these pages we were entertained. There is usually tworeasons for buying a book one is simply to be entertained from the pen of someone else's veiwpoint. Or two if you not buying a book for entertainment, it probably means you want to get the gleen some little knowledge from it, ie purchasing your college textbook, now those books were really entertaining yea- right!! If is not your own experience then why waste time criticizing some else's experience, basically you end up criticizing what you never experienced. Rather than spend time criticizing; how about spending more time sharing and healing. When we share our experiences that we have lived through we heal ourselves and as a bonus sometimes we heal others. Our gift to others is only truly gifted through what we share. Let's face it no experience is worth experiencing if we cannot share with others. While sometimes others have experiences that are not our cup of tea but then again it is not our experience- is it?. For entertainment's sake this book is what it is an experience shared on some pages with a cover and a title. Personally, I think we all need to do more living, sharing of ourselves, and less taking life experiences and others for granted.
read think doSeptember 7, 2010 Shellie Drage(SALT LAKE CITY, UT, US) This is a very thought provoking book, it makes you think about how all this relates to you own life; thoughts and views. Though I don't necessarily agree with her method of finding herself it does sound like a grand adventure. For one who may never have the fortune to have her experience she articulates very nicely the areas one might question most. She is fearless in her travel adventures, I admire that for sure. I have tried on occasion to stop talking (long story) it's difficult. Though there have many weekends in which I get no phone calls and do not leave my home and the only words I utter are in prayer, I am always amazed at how full and complete I feel at the end of one of them. One of my take-aways from this book would be "...one must always be prepared for riotous and endless waves of transformation." (pg. 75) and "This is perfect, this is perfect, if you take the perfect from the perfect, the perfect remains." (pg.120) and "Everybody has a different sense of urgency in this life." (pg. 319).
I hope your journey as you share hers is as enjoyable as mine has been.
Eat Pray Love - lighthearted, witty and entertainingSeptember 6, 2010 Trista Morrison(San Diego, CA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
According to the reviews on this site, people seem to love or hate Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat Pray Love. The story follows the author's quest to put herself back together again after an early mid-life crisis, a quest that takes her to Italy in search of pleasure (the culinary type, not the romance novel type), to India in search of spirituality, and to Bali in search of a way to balance the two. As many reviews complain, Gilbert is no hero - she can be seflish and whiny. But I don't think that stops the book from being a joy to read. Gilbert's writing is laugh out loud witty, and her adventures (after the drama of her divorce) make for a light, entertaining beach read. I say accept this book for what it is (not a travel guide, nor a spiritual guide), and you will probably be pleased.
