A review by ebwestrose
Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

5.0

When I began this book, I fully expected it to be cheesy and fake and unnecessarily dramatic. I resisted buying it for a long time for those reasons, but it kept showing up around me, and after finishing it, I wouldn't be surprised if I was predestined to read it. "Eat, Pray, Love" made me laugh out loud (my roommate got sick of hearing me talk about the funny parts). It made me question the assumptions I've made about religion. It made me think about some of my own relationships with people in very different ways. It stopped me in my tracks and made me put in my bookmark and just sit there and absorb what I'd read. And it actually did make me cry. Plenty of readers have said that "Eat, Pray, Love" changed their lives. I've only read it one time through - and I'm sure I'll read it many more - and I think it's just changed mine a little bit.
