I did not understand the hype over this book. It just wasn't for me, I guess.

Personally, I don't understand how you could not like this book. Not only is it it so inspirational to live through a first hand account of a normal woman finding herself but it also addresses something that isn't talked about which is mental health. This book is so important because it shows that it's okay not to be okay. It's okay to learn to take care of yourself and to learn about who you are and it doesn't matter how old you are or where you go. It proves that you can find love at any age and more importantly, you can learn to love yourself at any age. I envy Gilbert's ability to use her passion to finance a year of traveling while also taking care of herself. I think if you're someone who can relate or are curious, then you should definitely explore this book.
One of the most amazing books I have ever read. I would recommend this book to anyone!!
Het begon als een heerlijk boek met schitterende woordspelingen. Italië was een fijn hoofdstuk. India was interessant, maar een pak saaier dan Italië en Bali... Bali was een Lonely Planet. Serieus. Er begon pas wat vaart in dat hoofdstuk te komen tijdens de laatste tien pagina's. Ik had meer verwacht van dit boek, voornamelijk omdat het veelbelovend begon.
EPL is a superficial book which reinforces the old stereotypes of the confused, wayward, yet ever adventurous American soul. Liz is in the presumable search to "find herself"; she is wont to display grandiose gestures of saving the world through individual acts of alleged kindness. But in reality, she is someone obliviously conducting an Orientalist romp through the Old World, engaging in an exercise of mockery and condescension while completely unaware of the realities around her. Although Liz is earnest, forthcoming, and honest about communicating the inner workings of her mind, her naïveté is downright embarrassing. Liz is to spirituality, for example, what Sarah Palin is to politics. That is to say, opinionated, verbose, windy and full of meaningless pyscho-babble.
