Book Review

Okay, so I promised to review the book Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. I did not forget, I just have taken a long time to finish the book.

I truly think that you should read this book. I don't care if you watched the movie and hated it. I have not seen the movie but there is no way that celluloid can capture the book's essence. Ms. Gilbert chronicles her journey through Italy, India and Indonesia. Her quest was simple, spend a year healing from her divorce and to bring spiritual enlightenment and balance back into her life. The book is a very candid look into a spiritual journey. Most spiritual journeys only talk about the most amazing and moving parts of the experience. This book captures the real to life, gritty nature of enlightenment; as well as the powerful moments. What struck me the most about this book was the brutal honesty that Ms. Gilbert had about her experiences. Pain is uncomfortable and it takes bravery to reveal one's inner most dialogues in a nationally published book. This book is a must read for anyone on a life changing journey.
