Eat, Pray, Love annoyed the hell out of me, despite the fact that it had some very profound messages. I just couldn't stomach the author: her lack of self awareness re: her privilege and her selfishness. This book is Eat, Pray, Love, but good, with a hysterically funny author. I felt like we were meant to be best friends. The part about the possessed blender was probably my favorite, although the urine therapy is a close second. I would have given this book the full five stars had the author not droned on about the relationship she was in when she wrote her diary entries and, even more annoyingly, the "sailor." The ending seemed abrupt and unnecessary, as well as completely out of sync with the rest of the book. That said: great memoir, hilarious author, and spot on about the ambivalent relationship many of us have with our yoga practice.
very different feel from Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn- it has almost a shade of Dickens but better...everything is there like Dickens but pared down. Mark Twain keeps a terrific balance b/t heart breaking and hilarious human antics.
