I watched the movie before reading the book... bad idea.
I did love the book. It took me entirely too long to read, because I never had time. However, I was biased because of the movie. The movie romanticized the story a lot, and skimmed over some topics.
The way the author told the story, with so much detail, moved me. I felt like I was living it, especially at where I was in my life. I found a desire to travel to these places she was describing. I bought a set of mala beads. I tried to meditate... and failed.
This book makes me want to do more, be more. And that is absolutely because of the author's ability to write. The movie did nothing like that. It felt decadent, where the book felt raw and true.
I read this months ago, and while I do not fully remember the story, I remember the main plot points, and especially how I FELT while reading it.
