Julie & Julia
My Year of Cooking Dangerously
by Julie Powell
Ok.... Too many "F" words to say the least, but I am liking the book. I am not finished reading it but I thought I would start the discussion.. I had some issues with the book. I didn't need to hear all the sexual things going on with Julie's friends, what did that have to do with cooking or her marriage? Nothing. I didn't like the language or inuendos. What I really enjoyed was the cooking.
I loved hearing about the different dishes she was making and the challenges she faced. She made some of the food sound so good that I put Mastering the Art of French Cooking on my library list. I'm not going to aim for making all recipes in 365 days but I want to try a few. Baked cucumbers sounded yummy!
Cutting my review short since I have to get off. But tell me what you thought of the book! Will the movie be better? I hope so. Its only PG13 so it can't have all those F words. I'm hoping it doesn't dissapoint.
Ok, I finally finsihed the book.... hmmm... I am not sure how I feel about the book. It had good qualities, but boring parts and inappropriate parts.. Unlike Julia Child I like Julie Powell and her gumption. She dealt with all the crap that went with the Julie/Julia project and actually finished it. YOU GO GIRL!! But all in all it was a one time read. I am looking forward to seeing the movie and how it differs/stays with the book.. Did anyone else read the book?
