Eat Pray Love

I think Elizabeth Gilbert's main strength lies in reflecting upon things without making the reader feel like she's trying to impart knowledge. She's very aware of her own shortcomings, but, at certain points, her self-awareness becomes plodding and whiny. Nonetheless, she's had an interesting life. I would give this book more stars except [SEMI-SPOILER ALERT HERE, FOR GODSSAKE LOOK AWAY IF YOU HAVEN'T READ IT YOU SICK END-OF-BOOK-READING FUCK!:] I realized rather late in the book that I strongly suspected she had cheated on her husband with the codependent boyfriend, and that sort of tarnished my sense of camaraderie with her.
