Absolutely loved every minute -- couldn't put it down. May 2, 2011
by M. James

I absolutely love this textbook & had so much fun reading it. The story is engrossing and the writing is skillful. I couldn't put it down, and I feel more empowered to follow my own dreams and heart after finishing the textbook. You will want to read it again as soon as you finish it. That's 5-star material if I've ever seen it. Ecampus provided excellent customer service, therefore, I will, without a doubt purchase books from this company in the future.

Eat, Pray, Love : One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia: 5 out of 5 stars based on 1 user reviews.

Summary

This beautifully written, heartfelt memoir touched a nerve among both readers and reviewers. Elizabeth Gilbert tells how she made the difficult choice to leave behind all the trappings of modern American success (marriage, house in the country, career) and find, instead, what she truly wanted from life.

Setting out for a year to study three different aspects of her nature amid three different cultures, Gilbert explored the art of pleasure in Italy and the art of devotion in India, and then a balance between the two on the Indonesian island of Bali. By turns rapturous and rueful, this wise and funny author (whom Booklist calls “Anne Lamott’s hip, yoga- practicing, footloose younger sister”) is poised to garner yet more adoring fans.
