[stylist] "Eat, Pray, Love"

[Priscilla McKinley]

Did anyone read the memoir "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert and
then see the movie starring Julia Roberts?  Did you like the book?
What did you think of the movie version?  Did you think the movie
accurately represented Gilbert's struggles in her memoir?  So many
times, people say the books are better than the movies.  In this case,
I would say that the movie was better than the book.  According to
some reviews, the book was supposed to be hilarious.  I don't agree.
Anyone?

Also, if you read the book, what impressed you about the style of her
memoir?  Did you like the linear structure?  For those who are memoir
writers, what structures have you used that work well?  For anyone,
what do you look for when reading memoirs besides the obvious, like
changes in the main characters/authors?

Finally, what memoirs have you read that impressed you?  Why?

Thanks,

Priscilla
