Review--Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Eat, Pray, Love is the story of one woman's journey through Italy , India , and Indonesia in a quest to find peace, harmony, and to become a better person.  She takes a year to make this journey.  Starting in Italy  to eat amazing food and to learn to speak Italian.  In India she visited an ashram and met her guru.  In Bali, Indonesia, she is returning to see Katut, a medicine man she had met before an had told her that she would return to Bali and teach him English.

Elizabeth Gilbert is one brave lady.  First, to be able to dedicate a year of your life to traveling the world.  Making stops in places where you don't know anyone or even speak the language.. It sounds like an amazing time.

I had seen the movie when it was first released, but didn't know there was a book as well.  I try to read the book before the movie as much as possible.  This has been on my library wish list for a while.  When it finally became available I couldn't wait to listen to it.  Having it being read by the author herself made it that much more enjoyable.  It made me feel as though I was there with her.  Tasting food in Italy, doing hours of meditation in India, and even more in Indonesia.

Wet Wednesday

It's a wet Wednesday here and what I wouldn't love to do, but sit around and read a good book.  But, alas, I can not.  But I surely can listen to one.  I'm currently listening to Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert.

When I watched the movie years ago, I didn't know it was a book.  I had waited for a while to read it, but it was never available.  Finally, it became available through Overdrive and my library.  So while I try to keep my house clean and my children occupied in this nasty weather, I will listen and enjoy Ms. Gilbert's journey through Italy, India, and Indonesia!
