If this is your usual sort of read you will probably enjoy this book. It flows easily and has a feel good factor running throughout the novel. It is not overly swamped by the spiritual aspects in the book it's just a little tedious. The subject matter, already covered by "Shirley Valentine", is one of woman in love , woman not ...

I really enjoyed this book, although it took me quite a few chapters to get into it and at the beginning I thought I was going to hate it. Eat, Pray, Love is a book written by a woman at the end of her rope. ... Read the complete review
