Authentic articulation of her journey

Captivating story from start to finish. A compelling narrative that allows the reader to immerse themselves into the story. A great example of a memoir.

Brilliant

I'm a little late to the party but there's nothing more to say, apart from the fact that it is a must-read.

All range of emotions

I loved it! The story is great and I believe that many of us can relate to it at some point of our lifes. It starts so sad, but at the end - it leaves you smiling for all the good things happening in our paths.

Why stop there?

Where does Eat, Pray, Love rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Brilliant book - but I seem to remember reading a lot more of her story when I read the book some years ago. Why does it stop short?

What was one of the most memorable moments of Eat, Pray, Love?

The purchase of the land for the house.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, I was very relaxed about listening to it - picking it up when sewing or cooking and enjoying Gilbert's quiet voice.

A normal person on life's journey of discovery

Loved this book and I finished it in a couple of days. Very elequent and narrated beautifully. I felt as though I was on the journey with Liz and was so glad it all ended well. Makes me dream of going on a retreat and just shows how important it is to have faith, to know and love yourself.

A little disappointing that this is an abridged version

Great book nonetheless but would’ve preferred the whole of it. She is a gifted storyteller

Who Is Who?

I have always been interested in how book and movie get along. A parent and a child? A brother and a sister? A friend and an enemy? ... Relationship between a book and a movie based on it varies a lot. So, what about "Eat, Pray, Love"?!

Frankly speaking, I watched movie first and remained in a state of excited amazement for a long time. I decided to go to the source. Here we are, listening to the audiobook narrated by the author herself. At first, I was disappointed a bit because I was inevitably trying to compare it with the movie. Once I stopped doing it, everything changed. I was making a lot of bookmarks and going back once and once again. I must admit the book itself is far deeper and richer than the movie is. So, if you are still thinking what to do first - to listen or to watch - my advice is certainly to listen first! What is more, it is always very appealing to listen to a book narrated by the author themselves. Who can do it best if not the author?!

By the way, answering the question posed at the beginning of the review ... Definitely, a beautiful intelligent sister (Cinderella, probably) and her fairy tale stepsister - not ugly, but pretentious, not stupid, but seemingly smart, trying to take advantage of her. Is there any need to clarify who is who there?

Brilliant and inspiring!

I was nicely surprised with the depth and honesty of this memuar: truthful and moving. Human experience beautifully told. Very relatable search of self, life balance and connection.
I watched the movie afterwards and it was very disappointing so don't recommend to do that.
