Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert Review
I found myself chuckling and sometimes laughing out loud at the frankness and honesty of the gurus and people she met in her travels because we as Americans tend to be less than honest and not always nearly as blunt as the wonderful people she met. I do not classify this book as a "chick book" because I learned a LOT from this book, mostly about being grateful and realizing that it is ok to acknowledge parts of yourself that you may not want to and forgiving yourself WITHOUT apologizing because life is not about apologizing, it is about owning who you are while still learning, growing and becoming closer to your inner self, or in Elizabeth's case both the inner self and God. This was an amazing book and I WILL be purchasing this book and reading it again when I feel lost to remind me that no person is lost inside or outside themselves and all they need to do is look to themselves to find what they are looking for.

I did actually like the movie. I love Julia Roberts and enjoyed the movie quite a bit.

she has clearly managed to mark the distinction between the east and the west in a non- judgemental and truly appreciative manner and has juxtaposed her individual travel both literally and metaphorically.
