1: Insightful, enjoyable & enlightening
This book was wonderful! As for the negative reviews it received, I think these were written by the people who didn't quite grasp the premise of the book. I felt like I was vacationing with the author, she was so descriptive with her tales of traveling to the foreign countries she wrote about. In Italy, she let you experience the food and drink through her narrative and in India, you got to experience the spiritual awakening she unravelled and then in Indonesia, (my favorite)she taught you about the politics on the country and the people and culture that she encountered. It was like being a fly on the wall in all her journeys. I definately recommend this book. It is a very spiritual, therefore "deep" book but if you are up to it, then go for it...you will only better yourself for reading it!

2: Eat, pray, self-indulge!
That said, this book is really entertaining! She does a fabulous job in Italy, but Indonesia is by far the best, most moving part. A little disappointed in Bali because i wanted it to culminate with something more meaningful than her getting laid finally. Nevertheless, lovely book and charming writer. I'd love to travel with her sometime and can't wait to see how they do the movie! Enjoy!!!

3: I don't want to strangle the author, but the book was disappointing
I wish I could have traveled the world for an entire year and pigged out on pasta to get over my divorce. Instead, I was forced to drink too much and eat a lot of chocolate and tell anyone who would listen what an a-hole my ex was.
I enjoyed reading about the food in Italy, but that was about it. I was kind of disappointed, after all the good hype about the book.

5: Worst Book Ever
This is the worst book ever. The first 20 pages are ridiculous, ridiculously awful. Please read the first 20 pages just to see for yourself why this book never should have been written. But certainly don't buy the book, just steal it from someone who is halfway through and pretending to like it. This action will complete the true purpose of the book, to bring joy to those who appreciate its terribleness and unhappiness to those self obsessed individuals who have deluded themselves into thinking this book is worth more than a laugh and a scoff.
