Negative Positive
Title: Waste of time and money!
Review: This book has very little to do with cooking or the amazing Julia Childs. It is more an account of Ms. Powell's chaotic and unremarkable life. References to Julia and Paul Childs are sparse and oddly placed. Time spent chronicling work in the kitchen (which was fairly interesting) was vastly overshadowed by incoherent rants about family and friends. Attempts at wit were forced and not particularly funny. I generally smile at chiding by opposing political parties; however, I found Ms. Powell's persistent irreverent generalization of Republicans as unemotional and "piggy" annoying. I was particularly troubled after reading the cold account of her job consoling families a year post 9/11 as "emotional sh** work". WOW - I'd rather blow my nose on my t-shirt than have this woman hand me a tissue! I feel a little defeated but will be closing this book for good on page 99. I reccommend checking this out at the library and saving the hard-earned $25.
Is the review positive or negative?
