I finally finished reading Eat Pray Love, I was initially wary of picking up this book simply 
because I hate books that are preachy…
But then D recommend this one to me and I thought ok let me give it a try and frankly I happy that I did because the book has some brilliant moments…
I love the Italy part and kept dreaming about the pastas and the pizzas and the gelatos all through 🙂 and the way she has described the pizza she eats in Naples I could almost taste it…
For me the the most difficult and the boring part in the book was the India part, the philosophy way too heavy and I kind of skipped through quite a lot of it… It might be appealing to someone who is intersted in spirituality of that kind but was not for me.. I believe in being spiritual in the very world you are living in… and I guess that is why the balance in Bali appealed to me so much
The best part of the book according to me was the final part in Bali…how truly beautiful… My craving to go visit Bali has increased even more…
My final verdict on the book : a good one time read

Congratulations. You have been disciplined and persistent in your blogging efforts. It’s paying off now so enjoy the ride.
thanks wm 🙂 good to see u here after so long
have been hearing a lot about this book. lets see when i manage to pick it up. meanwhile i bought three plays by Girish Karnad. should make an interesting read hopefully!
cheers!
pick it up when u can abha… somehow i have never been able to read plays… may be i shld give one more try
i just finished reading this book for may be the 5th time.its a good quick read and some points have really hit the mark.at least with me.
wow 5 times thats quite a lot
It is in my re-reasing list too esp. some quotes are just apt and it lifts my spirits too.
yes i agree there are some parts which are really nice some qoutes have stayed with me… like the one abt the soulmate… the one which says that soulmate may not be someone who u can spend ur life with
and then about the balance that she keeps describing in bali but some how for me its a not a book i will read again……..
i liked it but still
I gave it a 7/10. I think every woman will like it for the optimism. Now waiting for the movie. Hope the movie doesn’t disappoint me like Time traveler’s wife.
7/10 is 3.5/5 well we are close 🙂 🙂
i hope that too…. and i had so many hopes from TTW… i simply loved that book
my favorite part in the book was the India part actually 😀
but while reading the first part, I was doubtful if my selection was wrong, it sounded boring there, but second and third part were really good 🙂
Seeing this blog post of yours pushed me to definitely read the book. As you mentioned, India is not very much painted in this book. It talks only about prayer in India. I was hoping for more!

I loved this book so much. I was suprised that you didn’t like the part on India however if your not that much into spirituality I can totally understand that! I would reccomend this book to all! Thank you for the review.
