I just finished Julie and Julia and found it fabulous! So I wanted to read more. I love France as well, so I figured this would be the book for me. It was a dry read and not very funny. I would be helpful to know some French all the recipes Julia refers to are in French. I much prefered Julie and Julia, but found this an interesting read.

I just found this book 'okay'. Honestly afer 173 pages, i did not continue to read it... i just found it a bit boring. It was not terrible, just a bit disjointed, and a series of stories about being in Paris,but nothing that i looked forward to reading about, so i decided to pass it on to someone else who may enjoy it more than I did.

Really got a sense of Julia's personality.

Quite good. Basically a biograpy of Child.
Read a little each night while on a ten day vacation and it was hard to put it down and get some sleep! Funny, fast easy read. Gave me appreciation for all Julia accomplished while overseas and when she returned stateside. Personal details very moving including those pertaining to her marriage. They were so in love - so the romance was an added bonus. Her husband too was a marvel in his own right and his information added much to the book. I highly recommend it and would not mind reading it again.
