A review by jennjuniper
Eat, Pray, Eat by Michael Booth

4.0

I sort of just wanted a book about Indian food that is frankly too spicy for me to eat, and I got a pleasing amount of that, although I also got very caught up in Michael’s very personal breakdown and am so pleased he found some equilibrium at the end! It was a bit of a surreal read in that I found him to be a strangely accurate mix of my (dead) alcoholic father, and me, in that his thoughts and reactions to various situations struck a little too close to home in places. Funny and enjoyable, and I’m glad I read it, but it did end up being slightly harder work than I’d anticipated.
