Helpful Score: 7

This 2nd book by former blogger Julie Powell takes on the butcher shop. Julie seeks out a butcher shop where she can become an apprentice and learn the trade. Along the way, she discusses her marital woes and the details of an extramarital affair and weaves them nicely into the story using a variety of butcher shop metaphors. Her career exploration takes her to South America, Africa, and Japan where she makes peace with her tumultuous life. An interesting read that won't disappoint, but not for the faint of heart as animal butchery is discussed.
