Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert
3.0

Eat, Pray, Love is a very interesting mix of travel memoir, autobiography and the diary of someone on a spiritual journey. I found the style difficult to get into, particularly with how apologetic the writer comes across, but once I got used to it I didn't find it too off-putting (though there were sections where she digresses so much I wondered the relevancy of them). However, I would recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in travel (particularly to the countries she visits - Italy, India and Bali, Indonesia) and to those who, like me, have a thirst for general knowledge as Elizabeth Gilbert explains much of what she is experiencing, particularly the meditations, which I found the most positive part of this narrative.
