Another great book that I have read and could not put down till the very end. I was excited when the movie came out which did a fantastic job. Elizabeth Gilbert should be proud. This book is a must read for you gals out there.
I enjoyed this book, way better than the movie. It does have its bland moments but its great writing. And a great plot
I agree that this book had its great moments. In a nutshell, the author takes a year to "discover herself" and travels to three exotic locations in her search. I thoroughly enjoyed her Italy stay, but she lost me after that. I also found myself frustrated with some of her opinions/decisions.
This is a library loaner, not a buy-and-keeper. Entertaining enough, but not for everyone. I also should say that autobiographies are not my genre anyway, so someone who loves them will probably enjoy this book more than I did.
A worthwhile read. I liked the story and the first-person honesty. To be honest, I was not a lot like the character and just had to let her lead me through her lessons. I loved the idea that you must explore the areas of yourself that you swallow down and hold back as you go though a rushed life. Once I read it, I found that I really enjoyed it but I wouldn't read it again. I gave it to a friend who was asking the questions in the book.
The book is okay, but I enjoyed the movie more. The book definitely has its slow part, but its a great story
Book has it's slow parts, and parts where I'm not overly fond of the main character, but it did serve me well as a beach read
This was a really great book. It made me think about my own life and its situations, or lack thereof. Now, I have the urge to travel the world!
I watched the movie before reading the book. I think I preferred the movie over the book.
Reading through, the plot started off quite slow, and didn't exactly pick up the entire time. I didn't care for her visit outside of Italy, which was my favourite part.
All in all, read the book first and then the movie...or just watch the movie :).
