Remarkable! 
This book is a road map illustrating beautifully---and at times quite humorously--- how one person made sense of this world by connecting to the Other. It's a wonderfully written guide to drawing back the curtain that hides us from our true nature, from God's presence within us. Elizabeth Gilbert has made a lasting and important contribution by sharing her deepest personal issues and efforts to resolve them. Rarely does an author convey such important lessons with such a delicious and delightful personal voice.
A great read
Great book, so rare to find a travel book that also includes the author's inner spiritual journey. Not the story intensity or level of Kira Salak's two travel books ("Cruelest Journey" and "Four Corners") or her latest fiction work loosely based on her real life experiences "The White Mary" (the ultimate book of adventure and travel that takes the main character through an amazing physical and spiritual journey) that define inner spirtual journey travel writing, but still a great read worth five stars. If you like travel books that cover the inner journey as well as the external journey, you will greatly enjoy this book.
Eat, Pray, Love
The book is excellent, and a good read that's hard to put down. Elizabeth Gilbert did and excellent job in sharing her journey to get closer with God, in this book. This book has change my views on the day to day stressors and how I handled them. My development with God has truly been changed in reading this book, I have found God to be so wonderful and exciting and my life has truly changed for the better.
EAT PRAY LOVE
I loved this book. What a beautiful writer she is! She makes the English language sing. Very encouraging for anyone who is "lost" and wants more out of life.
Get it on CD......her voice is just like syrup......you really feel like she is telling her story directly to you as well.

A memoir about Gilbert's journey through Italy, India, and Indonesia following her painful divorce. The book is divided into 3 equal sections. The first, and my favorite, details her gustatory journey through Italy. She then goes on to discover spirituality in India and, finally, love in Indonesia. I did not find the book particularly inspiring or uplifting though I wouldn't go so far as to say I disliked it. Again, I found the journey through Italy to be humorous and lighthearted. As for the rest? It didn't quite deliver.
She ends the book with a sense of gratitude that is eloquently expressed in the final section. She writes, "In the end, maybe it's wiser to surrender before the miraculous scope of human generosity and to just keep saying thank you, forever and sincerely, for as long as we have our voices". (p. 334) A tender way to conclude.
