 And what a life it was... December 30, 2009

After watching the movie "Julia and Julie" I just became so interested in Julia Childs' life. On the screen it would apprea that the really lived a fantasitc life and reading this book, you know she did. It was a well rounded story and so interesting. I just really liked it and am going to do some research to find more books like this.
 A classic tale December 24, 2009

Growing up with Julia Child as part of the television scene was a treat for many women of the baby boom era. Even though most never learned to cook true French cuisine, just reading the recipes and descriptions is worth the price of the books. In this story of the experiences and work behind the cookbooks and the television shows, readers get an idea of how devoted to learning and teaching the art of French cooking Julia Child really was. It was a life's work that never stopped delighting her, and this tale has the same effect on its readers.
Following the release of "Julie and Julia," the movie, people became interested in the original. Julia Child is one of a kind and although her story reads much like a private journal, her uniqueness shines through. She loved France, its cuisine, and its people. What she loved was the old ways, most of which would be lost if she had not written Mastering the Art of French Cooking and other cookbooks. This memoir adds beautiful details to the story.
Those who enjoy this and Child's cookbooks, might also enjoy French Women Don't Get Fat. It's a more modern look at French cuisine and society.
 Would prefer to see a photo of Julia Child herself on the cover December 13, 2009

This book has been highly recommended to read, and I want to buy a copy for myself and for a gift. However, I am deeply disappointed to see photos of the film Julie & Julia all over the cover.
Great book December 11, 2009

I bought this book for a book group I belong to.
It was an enjoyable book to read. However, it did get tedious near the end. You just wanted her to get done with the book.
Most interesting and enjoyable book - fascinating lady. December 10, 2009
