One of the great early Alex Cross books.


Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia
Review Date: 9/10/2010


When this book came out, I dismissed it and didn't want to read it. I thought it was some other whiny woman going on and on about her self discovery. When I heard the movie was coming out, I thought I would give it a try, since I always like to read the book before I see the movie.

I only made it half-way through the book. While I thought the Rome part of the book was interesting, I got bored with the India portion, and never made it to the Bali portion of the book.

I saw the movie this week, and thought, "Oh, maybe I should have finished the book!" because the movie was very entertaining. But, then again, they might have added some story lines to make the movie more interesting. Altogether, it's a very romantic real life story, and escapism for anyone looking to say goodbye to real life and live abroad for a year. If only....

This is a great story about Mary Boleyn. It's historical fiction, but many details in the book are true. Great companion book to Philippa Gregory's other books, The Boleyn Inheritance and The Constant Princess. The movie just came out but got bad reviews, so just read the book!
