I didn’t read the book but I saw the movie which was beautifully acted by Julia Roberts. I have never been in such a journey of discovery, I have 2 beautiful children so for me everyday is a journey. Thanks for allowing me to share

I initially began Eat Pray Love and ended about the same place you did. Then, one random day, I felt the need to pick it back up. I pushed through India only to find the best was yet to come in Indonesia.

I think marriage is much the same way. Sometimes you find yourself having to force yourself through the rough times because you know that beyond the tough times are the best times. Just a thought….and a little encouragement to finish the book

Could you teach me to read a book in a day and a half?

I haven’t read either, but I most certainly plan to read Committed. I enjoy few things in life as much as I enjoy gleaning from the wisdom of others, and it reads to me like this book is heavy-laden with it. Your spin doesn’t hurt either.

I too only half read Eat, Pray, Love. I don’t know why I never finished it… I liked it. It just never hooked me.

You’ve inspired me to pick it up again and then read on to Committed.

Thanks

I also read Committed in about 2 days… what drove me to read her new book was the way she puts on paper so many of the questions that I am often asking myself in my head. My husband and I just had our 18th anniversary, and I am more curious now than ever of why two people choose to commit to one another, and what do they learn that keeps them going for the long haul.

When I was reading this book, I kept wanting to write down the questions she was posing into my own journal pages – if nothing else, EG inspires me to really examine and reflect on what I would like to improve or change in my own relationship.

Mrs. Levine – I too resented the fact EG had the luxury to go live a fantasy life for a year to find herself. I have 3 children and husband who’s corporate job moves us around the country every 3 to 5 years. I take victory in the fact that at least I can write down my very own unintellectual insights in a wide ruled notebook (leftover from school supplies, naturally) while I sit on my back patio and watch the kidlets play (maybe even sipping a glass of wine from Tuscany). Oh, and my jealousy really ran away when she writes about the shitty bus rides and dingy hotels she stays in while traveling!

Steph Auteri-you nailed the book in one sentence! You really cannot expect him to be your everything. Some of us took a long time to figure that out!

I still don’t know if COMMITTED is worth reading, Alisa, though I totally enjoyed your take on EAT, PRAY, LOVE. I suspect you’ll be having an in-person conversation with your crush sometime soon (it’s interesting to me that you like her so much. I did finish the book and saw one thing she did on Web TV and I feel sort of sad and sorry whenever I think of her. She seems so unhappy and tortured in so many ways… Of course, now she’s so rich and can do whatever she wants. But you can never really escape from yourself, no matter how much money you have…)

I’m so glad you wrote this review because I’ve been kicking myself that I haven’t. I didn’t like Eat, Pray, Love because it just made me mad to read about a writer that could quit her life and go have fun world traveling in order to feel better about herself at the urging of an editor/book deal. Jealousy, basically.

Then I saw that TED lecture and was blown away. I’ve been afraid of feeling jealous and snarky about Committed so I’ve avoided it. My friend suggested the audio book so I can listen to her tell it and feel a little less mean girl maybe. Maybe.
