''Eat Pray Love'' Elizabeth Gilbert Book review

The book review
''Eat, Pray, Love''
Elizabeth Gilbert

''People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.'' 
 I think this quote is the main quote in the book, that represents the whole book....
Elizabeth Gilbert wrote the book, while she's been traveling around the world. The book represents 3 main places she stayed for the whole year.  Firstly, it was Italy (the part of book i didn't enjoy too much) , then it was India and at last Indonesia (Bali). 
The book tells the story about the women who's been traveling for one reason - to find who she is.  She got divorced to man she's never been happy with and wanted to find out what if not being ''normal''  would make her happy. When i use the term ''normal'', i mean to get married have kids and enjoy the life most typical American women have. 
I can only respond to this book in positive way. As a really extraordinary book does, it presented me at some way with clear mirror....in which i could see myself clearly and compassionately.
