A review by writesdave
Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

adventurous emotional hopeful lighthearted reflective fast-paced

3.5

I understand the hate, and I do agree that the book emerged from a good deal of privilege, but I didn’t hate it. I learned a good deal about Eastern Philosophy (which means I clearly need to read more), learned about Italian food and culture, and learned about the expat life. Based on Liz’s life now, I’d say she grew. That’s all you can ask from a year in the woods (generously funded by a publisher’s advance).
