Eat, Pray, Love~

Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert is a wonderful autobiographical account of the author’s path toward personal growth and spiritual enlightenment.

The narrative begins a few months before her divorce and follows the author through the next several years. The reader is treated to rich, sensual and frank descriptions of the countries the author visits and the people she meets along the way.

Throughout the book, Ms. Gilbert deftly describes her own process of spiritual growth while avoiding preaching or proselytizing.

Critical reviews of the book are somewhat mixed; most are positive, with some criticizing her writing technique. While this is not the most sophisticated book I have ever read, it certainly kept me engaged and feeling full once I had completed it.
