bookk8 's review for:
Eat Pray Love
by Elizabeth Gilbert
I'm confused as to whether I should give the book two stars or three. I wish I could give 2 1/2. The main theme of the book is great; a heartbroken, lost woman goes on a soul-searching mission around the world to some beautiful locales. She finds herself, finds new friends, etc. etc.
What I didn't like was Gilbert herself. She seemed to whine a lot in the writing of the book and had a very "whoa is me" attitude. The depression that had her crying on the bathroom floor I can understand, but everything seemed to be someone elses fault.
The book seemed to drone on after she left Italy. Each following place could've been a shorter section because I found myself skipping forward a few pages several times.
I'm not a fan of Gilbert personally due to some interviews she's given and her attitude about her own opinions. Just because her life didn't turn out the way she planned when she was 25 doesn't mean EVERYONE's plans at 25 won't turn out well. And just because you get married at 35+ doesn't mean it'll work out either.
