ROAR Book: Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

5-4-3-2-1

5.Comments:
  • Ketut Liyer (a medicine man and painter who Elizabeth is meeting again; two years ago when she was living in Bali and now) seems like a very kind and jolly, old man.
  • Mario (one of the guys that works at the hotel that Elizabeth was staying at when she first got to Bali) and Elizabeth have a lot in common.
  • The book teaches me a lot about the history of Italy, India and Indonesia.
  • I feel really bad For Yudhi (a new friend of Elizabeth) because him and his wife are separated; his wife is in New Jersey and he's in Bali.
  • It was extremely nice of Elizabeth to help Wayan (a friend of Elizabeth who also got a divorce with her husband) and Tutti (Wayan's daughter) raise money to buy a house since Wayan couldn't afford it but they did not buy the house yet.
