Helpful Score: 4

I really enjoyed this book - it was involving and I could sympathize with the need to do SOMETHING with your life and wish I had an outlet like Julie did. The book features several mouthwatering scenes, and you'll definitely feel like having some French Cuisine afterwards! Note: Unlike the movie, the book does not really tell Julia Child's story (with the exception of some fictionalized letters from her husband) - to capture the story told in the movie, you'll also want to pick up "My Life in France" by Julia Child. "Julie & Julia" (the book) only deals with Julie Powell's blog and her goal to cook all 524 recipes in "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" in one year. A real treat for foodies especially.
