Rating: - Could be the life of any of us
I have received the book as a Christmas gift from a friend who told me that she had two options: read it to understand me or give it to me so that I could know someone just like me :)
I really enjoyed the book and read it in 2 days. Elizabeth writes in a colorfull way. Her journey is indeed more than a journey and because I felt much like her I appreciated every piece of it.
The italian part is like a preparation part. Could almost be like a "Sex and the City episode" or something like ... Read More
Rating: - What a let down
Having read such glowing reviews of this book i began to read it with high expectations - it may well be a good descriptive text, but it has no impact at all on all of the billions of people on the planet who can't just conveniently run away to an island or go off for a year to find themselves - it was a self-satisfying, shallow read - i am sorry I wasted hard-earned money on it.

Rating: - Do not waste your money!
I ordered this book as I read the reviews on this site which led me to believe that it might actually be an interesting book.. but sadly no, I did not like it at all. It is written in a self-absorbed style, all about 'her'. Most people who travel do so because they want to see something of the world - all this girl needed was a mirror - this book tells you absolutely nothing about the places she visited and she travelled for one whole year!
A complete waste of time, incredibly shallow. Would not ... Read More
Rating: - Perfect
This is the most wonderful book I've ever read. She is whitty, charismatic and her insights and paths are so similar to mine I was able to relate on every page. Even if this is not similar to your path (some of my happily or newly married friends were not fussed by it) she stresses the importance of getting in touch with who you really are and how to find you. I have bought about 10 of these books and have given them to friends around the world from all walks of life. Amazing book I give it my highest ... Read More
