Eat, Pray, Love

Eat, Pray, Love

Synopsis

It's 3 a.m. and Elizabeth Gilbert is sobbing on the bathroom floor. She's in her thirties, she has a husband, a house, they're trying for a baby - and she doesn't want any of it. A divorce and a turbulent love affair later, she emerges battered and bewildered and realises it is time to pursue her own journey in search of three things she has been missing: pleasure, devotion and balance. So she travels to Rome, where she learns Italian from handsome, brown-eyed identical twins and gains twenty-five pounds, an ashram in India, where she finds that enlightenment entails getting up in the middle of the night to scrub the temple floor, and Bali where a toothless medicine man of indeterminate age offers her a new path to peace: simply sit still and smile. And slowly happiness begins to creep up on her.

  This book is the most self indulgent boring book I have ever read, I cannot understand the hype behind it.

  Though this book may sometimes seem a little dull during the protagonist's musings, I find this woman's journey through her divorce and other life problems incredible and truly inspiring. After reading it, I began to see the world through new eyes.
  
  The hype does get your expectations up a bit too high, especially now that the movie is out, but for the most part, the book deserved the praise it has received.
