Similar to some other reviews I've read, I went back and forth between really liking Gilbert's writing, thinking she was so funny and witty, and then really disliking it, getting bored of her ranting and rationalization of her divorce. This book made me really want to travel, though!

Could not finish- Writer is annoying and I don’t care about hearing about all the food she ate in Italy. 100 pages was enough and I could not bear the thought of reading about her religious awakening in India and Indonesia. Two stars because at least the writing is clever
I can’t get enough of Elizabeth Gilbert! Her work is truly a light of inspiration for me & I’m so grateful to have access to it.

she really got on my nerves and hearing her impressions of indian and indonesian people were embarrassing and borderline offensive, still got through the whole thing though and was reasonably entertained for large portions of it
Wonderful book but I was surprised that this was less a travel book than marriage (or break down of marriage) book. I re-watched the movie (because I watched the movie before reading the book) to see what the differences were and the movie turned the story into more of a rom-com and also sanitized the experience. The experience with Wayan, the medicine woman in Bali, to me was - outside of the marriage topics - one of the most important pieces in the book and it was not in the movie at all... That experience being the poverty of people twisting expectations from both local and Westerner. I wish there were more of those travel twists in both book and movie.
