It is full of humor, a few cuss words, and it takes you on a wonderful journey. For some, this book could change your life. Elizabeth Gilbert did a fantastic job writing this book and it was an honor to hold it in my hands to read her valuable words. I strongly recommend this book to any one at any age.

Yes, worth exploring. Hi, Pink. It was all I could do to stay awake, too! Hi, Patricia. Yes, I preferred the book, too. Hi, Rosaria. Yes, it was the self-indulgence that got to me. Thanks, Leslie. Yes, a longer part three was necessary, I think. Hi, Pranavam and thank you. I hope you are having a good day, too. Hi, James. I'm dying to find out what you deem a womasn's book! Hi, Nick and thank you. Actually I'd love you to read the book or see the film as I'd be interested to know what you would make of either. Hi, LindyLouMac. I don't think you'd enjoy the film if you didn't like the book. I think it would irritate you even more! Hi, WW. I think it's worth exploring one or the other.Welshcakes Limoncellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209759237794290941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-85620680821608761592011-03-14T20:21:47.539+01:002011-03-14T20:21:47.539+01:00Hello Welshcakes,
Glad you got to read Eat Pray Lo...Hello Welshcakes,<br />Glad you got to read Eat Pray Love. I really liked it. For me it is one woman's unique journey of how she moved forward in her life. I don't think she ever dreamed her book would touch so many others.<br /><br />I met her, and went to her and her husbands shop in Frenchtown NJ. a few times. They have a business called Two Buttons, that helps others in Indonesia and India. While there, she, her husband and friends were kind to me and mine.<br /><br />xox<br />Constancerochambeauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02142325813293645555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-21417098914177438152011-03-14T17:11:35.248+01:002011-03-14T17:11:35.248+01:00Haven't been inspired to read or see itHaven't been inspired to read or see itWhispering Wallshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03410656699815679312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-12522553385098544352011-03-14T12:56:53.291+01:002011-03-14T12:56:53.291+01:00I enjoyed reading your review as a lot of your tho...I enjoyed reading your review as a lot of your thoughts were similar to mine!

I couldn't imagine PAYING to wash floors and sit and "meditate" for as long as she did. I found that part of the movie far too long, except for the older man that told her his story. I'd have preferred a long part 3 - yes, because of Javier Bardem, I admit! - I don't think I'll read the book because I had enough of the story with the movie.
