I absolutely loved this book. I enjoy a good back that I can relate to the world around me as well as one that can keep me hooked - even through rough sections of the story. This book did it all. I would recommend this for a good beach read!

I enjoyed this book. While some might say Gilbert was selfish - I don't think she was. She released her husband from a marriage and future that she did not want - allowing him to find what he wanted with the right person. She embarked on a quest to find out what she did want in life - free from the everyday expectations society places upon us. I enjoyed the descriptive details from all of her travels. It would have been nice if Gilbert had included passages written or recorded from some of the main characters she met. Their point of view regarding Gilbert and her journey would have been interesting. Were they observing the same internal and external changes in Gilbert as she was reporting herself? Perhaps that could be a follow up book! I look forward to seeing the movie as well when it comes out on DVD.

I really enjoyed this book. It was an easy read that takes you along with the story of her personal journey and rediscovering herself. By knowing herself better she opened up again to the next things in life, like loving again.

I saw the movie first and loved it...I liked the book but not as well as the movie which is usually the opposite with me.

I listened to the audio book version of this book(read by the author) while I road the trains around Japan. It was wonderful. Her reading of it made the story that much more alive.

I really enjoyed this book!!! Although I didn't like the movie at all!

I really enjoyed this book and i did like the book better than the movie but i always do :) Its a great journey.I wish i were able to give that gift of time to myself!

i think this book is not for everyone. i really enjoyed the story of personal travel and finding yourself when you don't expect to.

I love this book. I absolutely hated the movie though. I thought the that the author was doing something that I would love to have the opportunity to do but could never afford to do.

I really enjoyed the story and the point of view of this book. It is actually inspiring to me even though I haven't been through all of her struggles, I still related to her. I found myself hoping to help and wanting to hug her.

Enjoyed it from cover to cover - Really makes you think....

What a great read!! I found myself being transported to each location in the book, while devouring every word of it. This is such a fantastic book for anyone to read. Especially women who have been through a divorce. Elizabeth Gilbert really shows readers that there is life after divorce, but you have to be willing to go and find it.

Loved this book! Character Main protagonist developed and had significant changes throughout. Also found the plot appealing. Must confess I think the movie ruined it.

This is one of the best books I have ever read, one of my favorites! It really makes you re-examine your life, not to the extreme she did. But to try to have a devotion to something and Liz does!

I loved this book. I listened to the audio book which Elizabeth Gilbert narroted and that might have made the difference. She is telling a story from her view point. Why is she selfish? I hear others say that about her. It is so much wiser to get out of unhappy marriage then to continue pretending or to have children when your heart is really somewhere else.
