Title: There is a marketing problem here......
Review: I think in general this book attracts "foodies" when they hear of the "project" or if they picked it up in a bookstore and flipped through the jacket. And my wife got it for me for xmas because she knows I love to cook and figured I would like this.The fact is that it should not be marketed to foodies and in general foodies will not like this book. It obviously has significant amount of text devoted to cooking but it is not the majority - the majority is devoted to the unlikeable Julie and her generally unlikeable friends. I think the biggest challenge here is that one gets no sense that Julie likes cooking or food in general - and is engaged in this project for reasons wholly unrelated to food/cooking.So for me a huge disappointment- and for other foodies - you can skip it.Lastly I was very surprised to find out the author was from Texas. I would have guessed New Jersey or Long Island.
Is the review positive or negative?
