EAT, PRAY, LOVE

Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

August 23rd, 2010

Part of the reason why the group chose this book was because it was coming out as a major motion picture that August.   So we decided that we would go the movie then discuss the book and look at the movie differences. 

Kristen, Elissa, Emily, Jessica, Shelia, Debbie, Amy, and Jackie all met a the theater for the movie.  Afterwards we had some discussion. 

The book had mixed reviews.  Several people really enjoyed the book and would read it again.  One member even said that she was inspired by the book. Another member said that she would read it again because she could find something new each time.

A few others did not like the book that much.  Comments were made that they couldn't get into the book and it was hard to read.  One member thought it was quite boring. Some members stated that the last chapter in Indonesia was the most enjoyable and India was the hardest to get through. 

Overall, I think everyone enjoyed the movie!

The next book chosen was Hotel at the Corner of Bitter and Sweet.
