I have just seen the movie trailor for 'Eat, Pray, Love' and I think the book would be lovely to read, I ordered it on the net last night but I am curious if there is anyone out there who has read it already? did you enjoy it?
Gorgeous book, I read it a few years ago and since then I have read it about 5 more times. It is my pick up and read from any chapter book that I read if I am feeling a bit spiritually flat. I love love love it. I am preparing myself for the movie to be nothing like the book! Once you have read it you can see how the tiny nuances and feelings that she describes won't be able to come out on big screen but I want to see it anyway!! Happy reading - are you going to read before you see the movie or the other way around??
When I saw the movie trailor I knew that I wanted to read the book instead (or first atleast), I love the depth in books, if there is a book I much prefer it over the movie, but then I see the movie and nit-pick the whole way through.
Ohh I cannot wait for my book to arrive now, I am feeling a little flat at the moment, I need a pick me up (and not of the chocolate kind )
It really is a lovely book hun. I know some people call it self-indulgent, selfish cr@pping on from someone who spends the whole 200 odd pages navel gazing but I think that navel gazing about ourselves as humans is normal and a necessary part of life. xoxox
I have it but haven't picked it up yet. Something about the way Oprah carries on has put me off. Can't explain why, cos it shouldn't matter. Guess I'll get to it in my own time
I'm one of those people who think it's self-indulgent cr@p! I read it some time ago and wanted to slap that woman the whole way through! Nothing wrong with some navel-gazing, nothing wrong with spending some time examining and improving ourselves... but that woman seems like a narrow-minded, self-centred pain in the a**!!
It took me twice as long as it should have to read the book because I kept rolling my eyes... (That smilie is reeeeally not the effect I was after!!)
Having said all of that, I know heaps of people who loved the book.
Its one of the only books i have paid full price for in years and i thought it was rubbish! I stopped reading after only a few chapters as just kept getting too annoyed and i will read absolutely ANYTHING!
In saying that though, i want to see the movie to try and separate the writer from the story and maybe come back and give it a second go.
