Negative Positive
Title: Narcissistic and boring
Review: The jacket gushes, "Julie Powell writes about cooking the way it always needed to be written about."No, she doesn't. She writes about her friends' dysfunctional sex lives, about her own barely-controlled anger management issues, and about how much city life sucks for the less-than rich. But she writes very little about cooking.She also has a rather limited vocabulary, substituting liberal amounts of profanity. This gets old quickly, too.I threw this away unfinished; I didn't want to be responsible for anyone else wasting time on this book by giving it away. Fortunately it was cheap.
