What readers think of Eat, Pray, Love, plus links to write your own review.

Where does someone start to say thank you for the courage it took not only to take the step that can seem so crippling,as many of us know, but also take a journey that takes one away from everything one knows.

I can not tell you how much I enjoyed this book. I had not been able to completely read a book in years..
Eat Pray Love not only brought tears for confirmation but also a friend who said what I have been feeling and thinking for so many years.
It was so timely as my own journey had began in search of myself. I cannot say enough about my love of this woman who dared to go where so many of us need to go.

Well done Liz!!!!!!!!

I don't see at all what the last two reviewers are talking about. I think we read different books. She didn't put down Italy, as a matter of fact, she even beautified Sicily, at least to me. If anything, she conveyed the people of Italy as PASSIONATE. Being Italian myself, I was not offended in the least.

That said, I found this book to be cathartic. The author went through things in her life that I also went through. Should I ever have the resources and finances to take a year to travel in order to fulfill a quest for enlightenment, I would do it now, at 37.

She followed her heart and it led her to what she wanted.

This book was beautifully written, enlightening and has truly made me reflect upon my life. I think anyone who has had turmoil in their lives should read this book.

One woman's journey. And, maybe she should have had a travel guide!

This woman was remarkably mature and successful professionally, and amazingly adolescent emotionally. She couldn't reconcile success with a family commitment, but took forever to admit it. Then, after wobbling through a divorce, she had a typical rebound romance before deciding to start all over and take on life from a completely different angle.

Good writing, settings and dialogue save the book, but the main character is spoiled and self-serving to the end. It's easier to like to book than the protagonist. Not exactly sorry to have read it but not sure why I feel that way. Loved the cowboy!

I must say that although all in all the book is not bad I found the part about Italy quite offensive.
Through the lines Italy comes across as a country of mad people who spend their time yelling in the streets and thinking of how to stuff dull Americans with delicious food...not to mention all the bits about Italian people being useless at languages, taxes, organisation, hard work, etc...
I guess the author should have known better before writing such rubbish. I am sure it wasn't Liz's intention to offend Italians but maybe before claiming that "anywhere in Italy this, anywhere in Italy that" she should have traveled to many more places than just Rome and Naples.
