Consumer’s review
When I glanced through the pages in the bookstore, I found something I could connect to instantly in virtually every section of “Eat, Pray, and Love.” I got the product, loved it, relished it, and have no regrets. It is what it is, a pleasurable, well written product.
Gilbert begins with a description of the origins of rosary beads , of which I also wrote about in my book, so I had an immediate relation with the writer. I even have my own manually set of beads from seeds I got in Katmandu.
