Pros: -Some good exercises (if you want to take the time to do them, they might help you figure out some aspects of your life and to live more intentionally) -Creative artwork throughout the book
Cons: -Boring, generic writing -Talks too much about her children, which is not interesting -Lacks depth and insight. Tries to make some small things in life more profound, but misses the mark on this. -Feels like someone just wants to tell boring stories about their life and turn them into something they are not. Just doesn't work here. Feels like the author is just trying to make money with this book, without putting much effort into her writing technique.
Overall, hated the book. It was a huge waste of time. Just good to look at the pictures and do some exercises.
This book was highly disappointing for me, seeing how I loved the other books by this author. The sad thing was that it had a lot of potential to be another great book by Marian Keyes and fell way short. The essential flaw was one awful, awful character that sounded like a child was talking. The

This book was highly disappointing for me, seeing how I loved the other books by this author. The sad thing was that it had a lot of potential to be another great book by Marian Keyes and fell way short. The essential flaw was one awful, awful character that sounded like a child was talking. The sentences were incomplete and it read like it was thrown together in a short time. There was no depth to this very shallow character and it made me want to skip her completely. And you can honestly skip a lot of what she says and still get the gist of the book. I did. I couldn't take reading her part anymore. The other characters are much more interesting and don't sound like children, so would have given this a higher rating if "Lola" was not in the book.
Elizabeth Gilbert tells such an inspiring, personal story. I couldn't help but find myself smiling throughout the book and feeling a warm sense of peace and love wash over me.
This is a book I want to hold onto and most definitely read again.
This is the 2nd book I've read by Cecilia Ahern and I have yet to be dissapointed. Love, Rosie is very sweet, yet real. When I started reading the pages I realized it wasn't set up as a normal book and thought that I wouldn't like it. But that is what makes this book so special. You have to rea

This is the 2nd book I've read by Cecilia Ahern and I have yet to be dissapointed. Love, Rosie is very sweet, yet real. When I started reading the pages I realized it wasn't set up as a normal book and thought that I wouldn't like it. But that is what makes this book so special. You have to read it to see for yourself. It is a hard book to put down.
If you like Into Thin Air and Into the Wild, I highly recommend reading Eiger Dreams. It has several short narratives packed with adventures of mountain climbing. It took me into a world of wonder that is known by so very few.
