Book Review of Julie and Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously

Julie and Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously
Helpful Score: 8


I was highly disappointed in this book, if you're looking for a good mix of Julie and Julia, you won't find it here. In fact this book should be called All about Julie with just a tiny bit of Julia thrown in for fun. And the ending about what Julia thought of Julie, just didn't even seem right, and no real explanation was given for Julia's thoughts either, which I found odd. I think the movie looks better compared to the book as I really did not see where all the scenes with Julia were that I had seen in the previews. I was highly disappointed in the lack of Julia in this book. And Julie has a mouth on her that would put most people to shame. The start of the book seemed rather interesting and then it dropped from there. I actually had to stop reading the book for a week before I went back to it because I became disgusted with it. Just not what I had expected at all.
