Helpful Score: 2

I really enjoyed this book Julie and Julia. That said, I read it before the movie came out and waited anxiously for the movie.
As others have said, I agree that the movie is better than the book so if you are mainly interested in Julia this is not the book for you.

As I understand it, this book is was used as the basis for the julie portions of the movie and My life in France is the main source about Julia Child for her sections in the movie.

Having also read My LIfe in France - rare as it is - this movie is greater than the sum of the parts. However, I still am really glad that I have read both books.
