Julie and Julie is a book which is at its heart self indulgent - and as a sort of a partial memoir you expect this. However what I found jarring was the person the memoir was about. Julie Powell cries at every obstacle, throws tantrums when things go wrong, yells at her husband for no reason God only knows what she'd be like in reality. But in a way I liked that, at first. The reality of it all, the way she'd showed a no holds barred view of who she was. Similar to an actress going bare faced in a film - it was a little liberating and strangely fascinating. However that soon got old. Really old. Really fast. No sane, happy person would react the way she does so continuously, with so little explanation. However, saying that, there are positives. She has a nice writing style, the project she undertook was interesting and whilst I doubt I would ever read another book by her unless it was concerning a challenge equally engrossing I didn't actively dislike this book. If there was a star rating for lukewarm water this would be the book for it. In fact the only thing which gave me pains was, you guessed it, the constant childish pessimism of the author. If it's a weigh up I'd say watch the infinitely more interesting and enjoyable movie. It tells you a lot more about the life of Julia Child and stars the wondrous Meryl Streep - what more incentive do you need than that?! I have a particular fondness for books that include recipes as part of the narrative and the food is an important part of this book; but these are not recipes most people would feel capable of attempting! I read it after seeing the film but enjoyed the way it captures a particular time in history and in a woman's life in an individual and friendly voice. My only criticism is that it feels slightly too long about two thirds of the way through. Pires 5. This lead me to Julie and Julia. Julie's take on herself, her life and everyone and everything around her is incisive, brilliant and funny and that flowery language notwithstanding, I savoured every word. I am a follower and cannot wait to read her next offering. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 March Verified Purchase I like to put my ideas out there in the blogging universe and I always think that it's like sending your heart out into the big bad world. Julie's story is an inspiration because it means that when you write what you think, when you write well, someone else will notice and someone else will reach out! I imagine Julie Powell writes like she talks. The writing is fluid, like you're in a conversation with your friend and you're listening to her talk. Now, if only we could all write as engagingly as Julie Powell! This unputdownable book is a must read! Read more Helpful Comment Report abuse glasswise 4. I am not an afficionado of bad language but it didn't ruin my enjoyment of the book - I just feel it is unnecessary. A good read for any cooks - particularly those who have dabbled in MtAoFC.

I frequently laughed out loud and since I found my passion for cooking at the same age, l had great fellow feeling. Now I am a thirty-one year old writer. I get paid very well to sit around in my pajamas and type on my ridiculously fancy iMac, unless I'd rather take a nap. Feel free to hate me -- I certainly would. The taste of the marrow is rich, meaty, intense in a nearly-too-much way. In my increasingly depraved state, I could think of nothing at first but that it tasted like really good sex. But there was something more than that, even. What it really tastes like is life, well lived. Of course the cow I got marrow from had a fairly crappy life — lots of crowds and overmedication and bland food that might or might not have been a relative. But deep in his or her bones, there was a capacity for feral joy. I could taste it. It hangs before you like fruit on a tree. Who could tell? We none of us knew for sure WHAT kind we were, exactly, but as long as were the kind that could sit around eating together and having a lovely time, that was enough. I began to ponder; this life we had for ourselves, Eric and I, it felt like the opposite of Potage Parmentier. It was easy enough to keep on with the soul-sucking jobs; at least it saved having to make a choice. But how much longer could I take such an easy life? Quicksand was easy. Hell, death was easy. Maybe that's why my synapses had started snapping at the sight of potatoes and leeks in the Korean deli. JULIE AND JULIA: MY YEAR OF COOKING DANGEROUSLY By Julie Powell | eBay There would be no marriages at the end of this Austen novel, though, no happy endings, no endings at all. Just jokes and friendships and romances and delicious declarations of independence. Now I am a thirty-one year old writer.
