Summary: Disappointing, a bit boring and misleading
Comment: First, let me say two things:
1) I did not finish this book. I made it halfway through India before I deemed the book a waste of my time.
2) I know this is a memoir. I realize that the author was simply stating what she felt and what she was going through. I make no judgments against her for how she dealt with a very personal matter.
That said, I found this book rather disappointing. It seemed that the same thing was being said over and over and over. I was really looking forward to the section on India since it was the religious part of her journey I was really interested in. For me, it just fell flat. Again, though, I didn't finish that section due to boredom, so maybe I missed out on the fun part.
Additionally, I found her to be quite mentally unstable (as one could expect), however, I felt like she celebrated that wanted that to be perfectly normal and OK. I find that to be a bit irresponsible. While she did mention being on anti-depressants, I believe this book gives people the impression that hearing voices is perfectly OK and just part of a spiritual journey. I can only wonder how many people read this book and didn't seek help when they really needed it because of the way the author portrayed her mental illness.

Summary: a reader from Hong Kong
Comment: It's very boring. I kept on reading hoping it will get better. until... when while in India she was conversing with her mind and calling Mediterranean sea an ocean, I could not take it any more. What a waste of time.

Summary: A 'Real' story.
Comment: This book confuses many males and empowers many woman to be themselves.
We cannot all be stereo types, even though sometimes the community we live in makes it clear that is what we are supposed to want.
This story is real to me in so many ways, but you have to read it with an open mind to get it...If you start thinking 'how selfish of her...or 'what a drama queen' during the first pages then this book is not for you and your mind is not open.
If you want to feel good about loving yourself for who you are and not for what you are supposed to be then you will love this book.

Summary: Life Changing Book
Comment: This book has helped shape my life. Elizabeth constantly reminds me of myself, all the anxious, social, romantic, emotionalness that is her personality. I have been inspired by this book to take up meditation and to explore myself and my relationship with God more deeply.
Some people hate this book, which baffles me, but I feel sorry for them that they are unable to understand the spiritual beauty of it. Their hearts and minds are closed, and they do not want to be changes.
Read this book if you are open and want to become closer to yourself and to God. This story is not about travel and adventure, but about becoming a better person and growing close to God and our true selves.

Summary: Great Book!
Comment: I received EAT PRAY LOVE very quickly after placing my order. The used copy wasn't perfect but in decent condition. The book itself is hard to put down and well worth what I paid!
