Review Summary: A True Adventure
 
Review Content: "Eat, Pray, Love" is a true adventure as Elizabeth Gilbert travels the world in search of Enlightenment. She beautifully shares her humanity and her vulnerability as she relaxes into her life. Her love for languages and food are full of passion as her descriptions of both are poetic and mouth-watering. Elizabeth Gilbert's true story and 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, and Being Here: Modern Day Tales of Enlightenment. I love that I can vicariously live through Elizabeth Gilbert's words, feeling like I lived her experience in Italy, India & Indonesia. And I love that I have found the life-style of well-being by reading the Kanes' books in the luxury of my own home. It's nice that the search is over.

Review Summary: Do not waste your money!
 
Review Content: 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 written in 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 and she travelled for one whole year!
A complete waste of time, incredibly shallow. Would not recommend to anyone and I do not understand the good reviews that it has been given.

Review Summary: Perfect
 
Review Content: This is the most wonderful book I've ever read. She is whitty, charismatic and her insights and 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 getting in touch with who you really are and how to find you. I have bought about 10 of these books and have given them to friends around the world from all walks of life. Amazing book I give it my highest recommendation.

Review Content: Fantastic and humourous writing - couldn't put it down. Immediately passed the "wealth" to one of my best girlfriends upon completion. Every woman must read this!

Review Summary: I enjoyed the EAT part the best!
 
Review Content: A lovely read and 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 time in Italy!
